Why Choose the ABB AG163 Meter Cover 750 × 150 mm 3PW?
The ABB AG163 is a purpose-designed meter cover for electrical distribution boards, intended for use with compatible low-voltage electrical distribution assemblies incorporating metering equipment. Manufactured by ABB and belonging to the DESUJ Sub Distribution product group, this accessory provides a dedicated covering solution for professional electrical panel builders, electrical contractors and switchgear manufacturers.
Featuring nominal dimensions of 750 mm wide × 150 mm high, the AG163 is specified for a 3PW cover configuration. Its meter cover designation identifies it as an accessory intended for compatible electrical metering arrangements. The wide, shallow rectangular format makes it relevant to designated distribution board sections requiring the specified cover dimensions and a suitable metering equipment layout.
Identified by ABB order code 2CPX062889R9999, the AG163 supports accurate accessory selection for new electrical installations, distribution board construction, metering panel refurbishment and replacement work. Its combination of a 750 mm width, 150 mm height and 3PW designation helps panel builders identify the correct cover for compatible ABB sub-distribution assemblies.

Dedicated Meter Covering for Electrical Distribution Systems
Metering equipment plays an important role in low-voltage electrical distribution systems, supporting the measurement and monitoring of electrical energy and other operating parameters. Distribution board accessories intended for metering sections must be selected to suit the specific equipment arrangement, available installation space and applicable assembly requirements. Correct cover selection helps maintain a consistent panel layout and the intended mechanical arrangement around the installed metering components.
The ABB AG163 combines a 750 mm width with a 150 mm height and is designated for a 3PW cover arrangement. Its wide, shallow format makes it relevant to compatible distribution board sections requiring a meter cover of these dimensions. The meter cover designation identifies its intended application, although the precise meter compatibility, aperture geometry and any viewing or operating provisions must be confirmed from ABB technical documentation.
Unlike a general-purpose solid cover or a slotted cover intended for modular electrical devices, the AG163 is specifically identified as a meter cover. This distinction is important when selecting accessories for electrical distribution assemblies because different cover types may have different opening arrangements, mounting requirements and intended equipment applications. Matching nominal dimensions alone does not establish interchangeability.
As part of the ABB DESUJ Sub Distribution accessory range, the AG163 supports professional panel-building, switchgear assembly and metering equipment installation. It may be selected for new projects or maintenance work where the applicable ABB assembly documentation specifies this cover model. Using the correct manufacturer-designated accessory helps maintain consistency with the intended distribution board configuration.
Before installation, verify the 750 × 150 mm dimensions, 3PW configuration, meter compatibility, mounting positions, access requirements and necessary fixing hardware against the relevant ABB technical documentation. The AG163 is a mechanical cover accessory rather than an electrical meter or standalone protective device. Any required ingress protection rating, protection against contact with live parts or compliance with applicable electrical assembly standards must be established for the complete installed system.
