Why Choose the ABB 1STQ008368B0000 IP65 External Panel for System Pro E Power Switchboards?
The ABB 1STQ008368B0000 is a purpose-designed 2 mm thick IP65 external enclosure panel from the ABB System Pro E Power modular low-voltage switchboard range. Featuring a nominal height of 2000 mm and a specified width/depth dimension of 300 mm, this panel is intended for compatible electrical distribution enclosures requiring external covering components with an IP65 protection designation.
Developed for professional electrical panel builders, switchgear manufacturers and industrial power distribution system integrators, the ABB 1STQ008368B0000 provides a dedicated enclosure component for System Pro E Power switchboard assemblies. Its 2 mm nominal thickness provides a defined panel specification, while its IP65 designation identifies its intended use in compatible enclosure configurations designed to provide dust-tight protection and resistance to water jets.
The 1STQ008368B0000 is specified as a 2 mm IP65 external panel measuring 2000 mm high with a 300 mm width/depth designation. The W/D notation allows the dimension to be identified according to the applicable enclosure position and configuration. The panel must be integrated with the appropriate System Pro E Power structure, mounting components and sealing arrangements to achieve the intended performance of the completed assembly.

Reliable IP65 Enclosure Protection and Switchboard Integration
The ABB 1STQ008368B0000 external panel is designed to form part of the enclosure boundary in compatible System Pro E Power electrical distribution switchboards. External panels provide physical coverage for designated enclosure sections and help separate internal electrical equipment, conductors and connection areas from the surrounding environment.
The IP65 designation refers to an enclosure protection classification defined by IEC/EN 60529. The first characteristic numeral, 6, indicates dust-tight protection, while the second numeral, 5, indicates protection against water jets. IP65 does not indicate protection against immersion or unrestricted exposure to high-pressure cleaning processes.
With a nominal thickness of 2 mm, height of 2000 mm and specified width/depth dimension of 300 mm, the panel provides a defined component for compatible System Pro E Power enclosure arrangements. The manufacturer's W/D notation should be considered when determining the correct panel location, as the relevant dimension may correspond to the enclosure width or depth according to the applicable assembly configuration.
Achieving the intended IP65 protection level requires the complete switchboard enclosure to be correctly configured and assembled. Panel joints, gaskets, fixing components, doors, cable entries and other enclosure openings must be compatible with the specified protection requirements. The IP65 designation of this panel does not independently guarantee the ingress protection rating of the completed switchboard.
The 1STQ008368B0000 is a mechanical enclosure accessory rather than an electrical protection device. Circuit protection, thermal management, structural performance and overall assembly compliance depend on the complete switchboard design. Installation should follow the relevant ABB System Pro E Power documentation and applicable IEC/EN 61439 requirements.
