Why Choose the ABB 831801 ARIA Solid Modular Cover Plate?
The ABB 831801 Solid Cover Plate is a purpose-designed internal enclosure accessory for the ABB ARIA electrical enclosure system. Identified by ABB order code 4TBA831801C0100, this plain modular cover plate provides a closed front section for compatible electrical distribution and control panel assemblies. Its solid configuration is particularly useful where an internal cover arrangement requires a blank section rather than an opening for modular electrical devices.
Manufactured from grey plastic, the ABB 831801 is associated with the ARIA 64 modular cover system, with supplier documentation also referencing its use in ARIA 108 modular cover arrangements. ABB's technical dimensional catalogue identifies the 831801 as a solid individual modular cover plate with an overall drawing dimension of 355 mm along one axis and 336 mm along the other. These dimensions distinguish it from smaller and larger plates within the ARIA accessory family.
The ABB 831801 offers electrical panel builders a practical way to complete modular internal front-cover layouts without leaving unnecessary device openings. It can be specified for new installations, enclosure refurbishment or replacement of an existing plain cover section. As a dedicated enclosure accessory, it should be selected alongside the appropriate ABB ARIA cover support arrangement and installed in accordance with the relevant manufacturer instructions.
Key Advantages
- Solid cover configuration: Provides a plain internal front section without the standard modular device opening.
- ABB ARIA system compatibility: Designed for use within compatible ABB ARIA modular cover arrangements.
- Suitable for ARIA 64: Identified by supplier technical information for the ARIA 64 enclosure system.
- ARIA 108 modular arrangement reference: Also referenced for use within appropriate ARIA 108 modular cover configurations.
- Grey plastic construction: Provides a non-metallic cover component with a coordinated enclosure appearance.
- Manufacturer-defined dimensions: ABB's dimensional catalogue identifies the individual plate using 355 mm and 336 mm principal dimensions.
- Blank modular section: Useful when an enclosure layout does not require equipment access through a particular cover position.
- Modular panel flexibility: Helps installers combine plain and equipment-opening cover sections as required.
- Replacement accessory: Suitable for maintenance and refurbishment of matching existing cover arrangements.
- Dedicated ABB order code: Simplifies product identification and accurate purchasing.
- Internal equipment screening: Helps provide a closed front covering for components positioned behind the plate.
- Professional panel-building accessory: Supports organised electrical distribution and control enclosure assemblies.

Dimensional note: The values A to F above are taken from ABB's technical drawing for individual modular cover plates. They are drawing reference dimensions and should not be interpreted as a complete external width, height and depth specification. The exact fit and installation arrangement should be checked against the corresponding ABB ARIA mounting system.
Understanding Solid Modular Cover Plates in ABB ARIA Enclosures
Modular internal cover systems allow electrical panel builders to arrange access openings and blank sections according to the equipment installed inside a cabinet. The ABB 831801 is the solid version of an individual modular cover plate, meaning it does not incorporate the standard opening found in the corresponding equipment-access version. This makes it suitable for covering unused positions or sections where an uninterrupted internal front is preferred.
ABB's dimensional catalogue identifies the 831801 alongside the 831800. Both share the same principal drawing dimensions, but the 831800 includes a modular opening, whereas the 831801 has no corresponding cut-out. The solid plate therefore provides an alternative when a particular position does not need direct access to DIN-rail equipment. Selection should be based on the enclosure format, cover arrangement and required accessibility of the installed components.
The ABB 831801 is an internal cover accessory, not a complete electrical enclosure. Although supplier information identifies an IP20 protection level for the modular cover, the protection of the finished electrical assembly depends on the entire enclosure configuration, the installation of the cover system and the positioning of electrical equipment. The solid plate must not be assumed to provide the environmental ingress protection of the outer ARIA cabinet or to replace the need for suitable electrical safety measures.
