ABB PCBS5040 System Pro E Power Blind Cell for Segregation – H50 W400
The ABB PCBS5040, manufacturer order code 1STQ008703A0000, is a specialist blind cell for internal switchboard segregation within the ABB System Pro E Power modular low-voltage distribution system. Identified by the manufacturer as BLIND CELL FOR SEGR. H=50MM W=400MM, this accessory is designed for compatible segregation arrangements with a nominal cell height of 50 mm and width of 400 mm.
Blind cell components are used in switchboard construction to close or separate designated internal cell spaces as part of an organised compartment layout. The ABB PCBS5040 blind segregation cell supports the mechanical arrangement of compatible System Pro E Power assemblies, providing a manufacturer-specific accessory for applications where a designated cell position requires a blind or closed configuration.
With its compact 50 mm height designation and 400 mm nominal width, the PCBS5040 is intended for professional electrical panel builders, switchboard manufacturers and industrial contractors. It supports accurate accessory selection for ABB System Pro E Power installations requiring a compatible blind cell within the internal segregation structure.

Blind Cell Segregation in Low-Voltage Electrical Switchboards
The ABB PCBS5040 is intended for compatible System Pro E Power switchboard arrangements requiring a blind cell within the internal segregation structure. In modular electrical distribution assemblies, cell spaces may be allocated to electrical equipment, connections, cable routes or other designated functions. Blind cell accessories provide a mechanical means of closing or separating specified spaces within that arrangement.
The manufacturer's BLIND CELL FOR SEGR. description identifies the accessory's intended role in internal segregation. It should be distinguished from a circuit breaker mounting kit, a general enclosure panel or an electrical protective device. The PCBS5040 is selected for its designated mechanical function within the switchboard compartment layout.
Internal segregation can help define boundaries between functional areas of an electrical assembly. However, the effectiveness and classification of that segregation depend on the complete construction, including adjacent partitions, supporting structures, openings and installed equipment.
The PCBS5040 should therefore be considered one component of a coordinated System Pro E Power segregation arrangement. Its presence alone does not establish a particular form of internal separation or confirm compliance with all requirements applicable to the finished switchboard.
50 mm Height and 400 mm Width Configuration
The manufacturer's H=50MM designation specifies a 50 mm nominal cell height. This compact height is a defining selection characteristic of the PCBS5040 and distinguishes it from blind cell accessories intended for taller internal compartments.
The W=400MM designation identifies a 400 mm nominal cell width. The intended segregation structure must correspond to this width configuration, including the relevant internal supports and neighbouring compartment components.
These dimensions identify the designated cell configuration and should not automatically be interpreted as independently verified overall manufactured dimensions of the individual accessory. Physical measurements, mounting interfaces and installation clearances should be confirmed against ABB's detailed drawings where necessary.
Both dimensions are important when specifying internal segregation components. An accessory with the correct height but an incompatible width may not fit the intended cell arrangement, while an accessory with the correct width but a different height may not provide the required mechanical interface.
The supplied manufacturer description does not specify a nominal switchboard depth. Compatibility with a particular enclosure depth or internal frame arrangement should therefore be checked using the applicable ABB System Pro E Power assembly documentation.
ABB System Pro E Power Compatibility and Compartment Design
The ABB System Pro E Power range supports modular construction of low-voltage electrical distribution assemblies using coordinated enclosure, mounting and internal segregation accessories. The PCBS5040 belongs to this system and is intended for use with compatible switchboard cell arrangements.
When designing a switchboard, panel builders must consider how individual segregation components interact with the wider assembly. This includes the positioning of internal supports, neighbouring cell components, electrical devices and any required conductor passages.
The blind cell designation should not be interpreted as a guarantee that the accessory forms an airtight, watertight or independently certified protective barrier. Its actual function depends on the approved installation arrangement and the surrounding switchboard construction.
Where a project specifies a particular form of internal separation under IEC 61439, the complete assembly must be designed and verified to meet that requirement. The PCBS5040 manufacturer's description does not identify a specific separation form.
Similarly, no independent ingress-protection rating is specified for this accessory. The IP rating of the completed switchboard is determined by the enclosure design, associated components, openings and overall assembly.
Installation and Professional Panel Building Considerations
The ABB PCBS5040 blind cell should be installed only within compatible System Pro E Power segregation structures. Before assembly, the panel builder should verify the specified 50 mm nominal height, 400 mm nominal width and intended cell position.
The manufacturer's description does not independently confirm the component's material, thickness, surface finish or coating. These characteristics should be established from ABB's technical documentation if they are relevant to the project specification.
The exact supplied contents are also not established by the abbreviated designation. Mounting screws, brackets, supports and other accessories should not be assumed to be included unless confirmed by ABB's product information or bill of materials.
Installation should preserve the required clearances and interfaces around electrical equipment and conductors. Any openings, penetrations or adjacent components must be consistent with the complete switchboard design and the manufacturer's assembly instructions.
As a mechanical segregation accessory, the PCBS5040 does not independently provide circuit isolation, overload protection, short-circuit protection or an electrical current rating. These functions belong to the selected electrical devices and the verified distribution assembly.
For professional switchboard manufacturers, the ABB PCBS5040 offers a manufacturer-specific solution for a 50 mm high by 400 mm wide blind segregation cell configuration, supporting accurate component selection and organised internal construction.
