Why Choose the ABB EPX-VSG12 Vented Side Gland?
The ABB EPX-VSG12, manufacturer order code 1SKV321170S0001, is a purpose-designed vented side gland accessory for ABB Protecta Power electrical distribution enclosures. Specified for an enclosure configuration measuring 1700 mm high × 300 mm deep, this accessory provides a dedicated ventilated side arrangement for compatible 12-way Protecta Power panelboards.
As part of the ABB Protecta Power Enclosures accessory range, the EPX-VSG12 supports the integration of side gland arrangements into low-voltage power distribution assemblies. Its vented construction provides ventilation openings within the designated side component, making it suitable for installations where the enclosure design calls for a ventilated rather than a plain side gland.
The EPX-VSG12 is specifically identified in ABB's Protecta Power accessory range as a Vented Side Gland H1700 × D300 (12-way PB). This manufacturer-defined configuration helps electrical contractors and panel builders select the appropriate accessory for the corresponding distribution enclosure without relying on improvised modifications.

Vented Side Gland Integration for 12-Way Protecta Power Panelboards
Electrical distribution enclosures require appropriately designed gland arrangements and ventilation provisions to support their intended installation conditions. The ABB EPX-VSG12 provides a manufacturer-designated vented side gland for the 12-way Protecta Power panelboard configuration, allowing the specified side arrangement to be incorporated into the completed distribution assembly.
The ABB Protecta Power accessory range includes both plain and vented side gland variants for different panelboard sizes. For the 12-way configuration, the EPX-SG12 is the corresponding plain side gland, while the EPX-VSG12 provides the vented alternative. ABB also identifies the EPX-VSG08 for compatible 8-way boards and EPX-VSG18 for compatible 18-way boards.
The specified 1700 mm height and 300 mm depth describe the corresponding enclosure configuration and should not automatically be treated as the overall physical dimensions of the accessory itself. When installing a vented component, electrical contractors should verify the required enclosure ingress protection, ventilation arrangement, cable entry requirements and compatibility with the completed assembly. The vented construction does not establish a particular IP rating without confirmation of the assembled enclosure configuration.
