Why Choose the ABB CA18R IP44 Distribution Enclosure?
The ABB CA18R is a ComfortLine Compact surface-mounted distribution enclosure designed for professional low-voltage sub-distribution installations. Supplied under ABB order code 2CPX052233R9999, it combines a compact 300 mm cabinet width with seven equipment rows, providing substantial modular capacity while maintaining a narrow installation footprint.
With external dimensions of 300 mm wide × 1250 mm high × 160 mm deep, the CA18R provides 84 modular spaces across seven rows. DIN rail spacing is 150 mm, and the enclosure is equipped with N/PE quick-connect terminals to support efficient installation of compatible DIN rail protection and distribution equipment.
The CA18R is rated for an operational voltage of 400 V AC, 50/60 Hz and a rated current of 125 A. Its IP44 protection rating, protection-insulated construction and single-leaf door make it a robust solution for wall-mounted electrical distribution in commercial, industrial and building-services applications.

High-Capacity Distribution in a Compact Cabinet Width
Surface-mounted distribution enclosures provide a structured housing for DIN rail protection, switching and distribution equipment. The ABB CA18R combines seven rows and 84 modular spaces with a cabinet width of only 300 mm, making it particularly useful where substantial distribution capacity is required but horizontal installation space is limited.
The CA18R incorporates N/PE quick-connect terminals, 150 mm DIN rail spacing, a removable device support and an integrated cable support rail to assist professional assembly and wiring. Its 125 A rating and IP44 enclosure protection make it a versatile choice for compatible ABB low-voltage sub-distribution systems.
Typical Applications
- Commercial low-voltage distribution systems.
- Residential and multi-occupancy electrical distribution.
- Industrial building-services installations.
- DIN rail protective and switching equipment.
- High-capacity sub-distribution where cabinet width is restricted.
- Professional electrical panel building and system integration.
