Why Choose the ABB EPX-SIDECABLE-12 Side Extension Box?
The ABB EPX-SIDECABLE-12, manufacturer order code 1SKV301170S0001, is a purpose-designed side cableway extension box for ABB Protecta Power electrical distribution enclosures. Developed specifically for compatible 12-way Protecta Power distribution boards, this enclosure accessory provides additional space alongside the main switchboard for routing and organising electrical cables.
As part of the ABB Protecta Power enclosure system, the EPX-SIDECABLE-12 supports efficient cable management in low-voltage electrical distribution installations. Its dedicated side-extension configuration helps electrical contractors and panel builders accommodate outgoing cable routes while maintaining a coordinated enclosure arrangement.
With manufacturer-specified dimensions of 1700 mm high × 300 mm wide, the EPX-SIDECABLE-12 is designed to fit the corresponding 12-way ABB Protecta Power enclosure. This standard side extension box is supplied without dedicated meter knock-outs, making it suitable for applications where additional cableway space is required rather than an integrated metering compartment.

Additional Cableway Space for Electrical Distribution Assemblies
Electrical distribution boards frequently require dedicated space for routing incoming and outgoing cables, particularly where multiple circuits or larger cable sizes are involved. The ABB EPX-SIDECABLE-12 provides an additional side enclosure designed to complement a compatible 12-way Protecta Power board, helping installers organise cables separately from the main distribution equipment.
The ABB Protecta Power system is designed for low-voltage power distribution applications using coordinated enclosures, moulded case circuit breakers and associated installation accessories. Side cableway extension boxes form part of this modular arrangement, allowing additional cable routing space to be incorporated where required by the installation.
The EPX-SIDECABLE-12 has a manufacturer-specified height of 1700 mm and width of 300 mm, matching the designated 12-way enclosure configuration. Unlike the corresponding metering extension variant, the standard EPX-SIDECABLE-12 does not include dedicated meter knock-outs. Installers should verify cable entry requirements, enclosure compatibility, fixings and the overall assembly protection requirements before installation.
