Why Choose the ABB 831798 ARIA Slotted Cover Plate 17M?
The ABB 831798 Slotted Cover Plate 17M is a purpose-designed electrical enclosure accessory for compatible cabinets and assemblies within the ABB Aria Enclosures range. Featuring a slotted cover configuration for 17 modular positions, it provides a practical solution for covering internal electrical equipment while allowing suitable modular devices to remain accessible through the designated openings.
Identified by ABB order code 4TBA831798C0100, the 831798 is intended for electrical distribution and control assemblies that incorporate compatible modular equipment. Its slotted design provides an alternative to a solid cover plate, allowing the front portions of appropriately positioned devices to be accessed without removing the entire cover.
As part of the ABB Aria Enclosures accessory range, the ABB 831798 supports organised electrical panel construction, maintenance and refurbishment. It is a cover plate accessory rather than a complete electrical enclosure, making correct selection of the compatible cabinet, internal mounting arrangement and associated hardware essential.

17-Module Slotted Cover Design for Electrical Distribution Assemblies
The ABB 831798 Slotted Cover Plate 17M is designed for electrical installations where suitable modular equipment must be positioned behind an internal cover. The slotted configuration provides a designated opening through which compatible device fronts or operating controls can be presented, while the surrounding cover conceals selected internal areas.
The 17M designation identifies the cover's modular configuration. It is particularly relevant when planning electrical distribution assemblies containing modular protection, switching or control devices. The exact opening dimensions, module pitch and compatibility with particular equipment should be confirmed against ABB's technical drawing for the product.
Unlike a solid cover plate, which provides a continuous covering surface, a slotted cover is intended to accommodate a defined modular equipment arrangement. This makes the ABB 831798 suitable for installations where selected devices need to remain operable or visible from the front of the internal assembly.
When correctly fitted with compatible equipment, the cover plate can help create an orderly panel layout and provide physical separation between the accessible front area and wiring or components behind the cover. However, any required protection against contact with live parts must be established for the completed electrical assembly, not assumed from the cover plate alone.
Before installation, verify the exact enclosure compatibility, mounting positions, cover dimensions, material and required fixing hardware using ABB's current documentation for 4TBA831798C0100. The final installation should also account for device clearances, unused modular openings and any blanking accessories required to maintain the intended safety arrangement.
