Why Choose the ABB EPX-4004DC Protecta Power 400 A 4-Pole Direct Connection Kit?
The ABB EPX-4004DC is a 400 A, 4-pole direct connection kit designed for the ABB Protecta Power range of low-voltage electrical distribution panelboards. This dedicated connection accessory is intended for compatible four-pole incoming arrangements, supporting the integration of a direct electrical connection within a Protecta Power distribution assembly.
As part of the ABB Protecta Power Enclosures product group, the EPX-4004DC provides a manufacturer-designated solution for applications requiring a 400 A direct connection arrangement. Its four-pole configuration makes it relevant to distribution systems where the specified incoming connection arrangement includes four conductors, subject to the applicable panelboard design and installation requirements.
Identified by ABB manufacturer order code 1SKV328640S0001, the EPX-4004DC helps panel builders and electrical contractors select a connection accessory according to the required current rating, pole configuration and enclosure system. It is intended for use as part of a correctly engineered electrical distribution assembly rather than as a standalone switching or protective device.

400 A Four-Pole Direct Connections in Protecta Power Distribution Systems
Low-voltage electrical distribution panelboards require correctly specified incoming connections to transfer electrical power into the distribution assembly. The selected connection arrangement must be appropriate for the panelboard rating, conductor configuration, busbar system and associated protective equipment. The ABB EPX-4004DC provides a 400 A, four-pole direct connection kit for compatible Protecta Power installations, offering a dedicated accessory reference for this type of incoming arrangement.
ABB Protecta Power systems also accommodate incoming MCCB and switch disconnector configurations, with separate connection kits available for selected breaker arrangements. A direct connection kit serves a different purpose from an MCCB connection kit and does not itself provide overload protection, short-circuit protection or switching isolation. Electrical designers and installers should verify the required upstream protection, conductor termination arrangements, installation clearances, applicable ratings and compatibility with the selected Protecta Power panelboard before installation.
Typical Applications
- ABB Protecta Power low-voltage electrical distribution panelboards.
- Compatible 400 A incoming direct connection arrangements.
- Four-pole electrical distribution connections.
- Commercial building power distribution systems.
- Industrial low-voltage switchboard assemblies.
- Main and sub-distribution panelboard construction.
- Electrical plant room distribution installations.
- Professional panel-building and electrical engineering projects.
- Compatible Protecta Power incoming connection modifications.
