Why Choose the ABB MBZ160 Meter Plate Expansion 1PW?
The ABB MBZ160 is an unassembled meter plate expansion module designed for ABB CombiLine N modular distribution assemblies. Supplied under ABB order code 2CPX041820R9999, it provides a dedicated mounting position for one electricity meter with conventional three-point fixing within compatible low-voltage distribution cabinets.
The MBZ160 is designed for one three-point-mounted meter and is intended for intermediate metering applications. Its meter support arrangement includes head sections above and below the meter position, providing a structured installation platform within the CombiLine N interior expansion system.
With a height of 450 mm, width of 250 mm and depth of 225 mm, the MBZ160 corresponds to a 3 GU × 1 PW configuration and provides 36 space units. RAL 7035 plastic covers with 90-degree press-and-turn closures complete the assembly, while the required WR mounting frame must be ordered separately.

Structured Metering for Electrical Distribution Assemblies
Meter plate modules provide a standardised mounting platform for integrating electrical energy meters into low-voltage distribution assemblies. The ABB MBZ160 provides a dedicated three-point meter position for intermediate measurement, allowing energy consumption to be monitored within a specific circuit, section or downstream distribution system.
As part of the ABB CombiLine N interior expansion system, the MBZ160 uses standardised dimensions and mounting arrangements to simplify integration into compatible cabinets. Its compact 1 PW format, 36 space units and dedicated meter support arrangement make it a practical solution for incorporating a single conventional three-point meter into modular distribution equipment.
Typical Applications
- ABB CombiLine N modular distribution assemblies.
- Intermediate electrical energy metering.
- Three-point electricity meter installations.
- Commercial and industrial sub-distribution boards.
- Building-services electrical distribution cabinets.
- Panel-building and switchboard applications.
