Why Choose the ABB ED173 Cross Bar 2PW?
The ABB ED173 is a dedicated cross-bar accessory for compatible low-voltage electrical distribution assemblies. Part of ABB's DESUJ Sub Distribution product group, this component is designed for integration into distribution panel arrangements requiring a matching cross bar with a 2PW panel-width configuration.
Cross-bar accessories form part of the construction and mechanical arrangement of electrical distribution equipment, helping panel builders establish the intended positioning and integration of associated assembly components. The ABB ED173 Cross Bar 2PW provides a manufacturer-designated component for compatible ABB sub-distribution systems, supporting consistent accessory selection during electrical panel construction, equipment installation and maintenance.
Featuring a two-panel-width (2PW) designation, the ED173 is associated with the corresponding ABB distribution assembly configuration. This designation helps distinguish the product from cross bars intended for other panel arrangements, allowing electrical installers and switchgear manufacturers to identify the appropriate accessory for their system.
Identified by ABB manufacturer order code 2CPX067998R9999, the ED173 is suitable for new distribution board construction, refurbishment and replacement projects where this specific cross-bar component is required. Its precise mounting arrangement and equipment compatibility should be confirmed against the applicable ABB assembly documentation before installation.

Reliable Cross-Bar Integration for ABB Electrical Distribution Assemblies
Low-voltage electrical distribution systems incorporate protective devices, switching equipment, busbar assemblies, mounting structures, covers and associated installation accessories. These components must be arranged within a suitable distribution panel structure to maintain the intended mechanical configuration, accessibility and electrical clearances. Manufacturer-designated assembly accessories help electrical panel builders select components corresponding to the required equipment layout.
The ABB ED173 is identified as a 2PW cross bar within ABB's DESUJ Sub Distribution product group. This designation distinguishes it from cross-bar accessories intended for different panel-width configurations. When selected for its specified application, the ED173 forms part of the associated electrical distribution assembly arrangement.
Correct component selection is particularly important when assembling or modifying distribution panels. The intended mounting positions, fixing methods and associated equipment must correspond to the manufacturer's system design. Before installing the ED173, panel builders should confirm that the cross bar is suitable for the relevant ABB distribution assembly and that the required supporting components are available.
The term cross bar does not independently establish that the ED173 is a current-carrying electrical busbar. Its product designation does not confirm an electrical current rating, conductor cross-section, insulation classification or short-circuit withstand performance. These characteristics should only be attributed to the component where supported by the applicable ABB technical documentation.
The ED173 is an assembly accessory rather than a protective circuit breaker or switching device. The electrical protection, mechanical integrity, accessibility and safety of the completed installation depend on the complete distribution system and its correctly selected and installed components.
