Why Choose the ABB EPX-SED18 Side Extension Plain Door?
The ABB EPX-SED18, manufacturer order code 1SKV324200S0001, is a purpose-designed side extension plain door for compatible ABB Protecta Power low-voltage electrical distribution panelboards. With nominal dimensions of 2000 mm high x 300 mm wide, this enclosure accessory is specified for the side extension arrangement associated with 18-way Protecta Power panelboards.
As part of the ABB Protecta Power Enclosures product range, the EPX-SED18 provides a manufacturer-designated door solution for suitable side extension compartments. It supports the completion of modular panelboard assemblies where additional enclosure space is required for cable routing, electrical distribution accessories or other equipment permitted by the relevant ABB configuration.
The plain door configuration provides an enclosed front access arrangement without the dedicated metering provision associated with ABB's separately listed metered door variants. This makes the EPX-SED18 an appropriate selection for compatible side extension installations where a standard, non-metered door is specified.
Designed for professional panel builders, switchgear manufacturers and electrical contractors, the ABB EPX-SED18 supports consistent enclosure assembly and straightforward component identification. Its dedicated product designation and ABB order code help ensure that the correct door size and configuration are selected for the intended Protecta Power installation.

Side Extension Door Integration for ABB Protecta Power Panelboards
The ABB Protecta Power range provides modular low-voltage electrical distribution panelboard solutions for commercial and industrial installations. The system incorporates enclosure structures, incoming and outgoing protective devices, busbar assemblies and dedicated accessories for configuring complete electrical distribution equipment.
Side extension compartments can provide additional space alongside a compatible panelboard assembly. Depending on the approved configuration, this space may be used to accommodate cable routing, termination arrangements or other designated enclosure components. A correctly selected side extension door forms part of the compartment's external enclosure arrangement.
The ABB EPX-SED18 is identified in ABB's Protecta Power product selection documentation as the Side Extension Plain Door H2000 x W300 (18-way panelboard). Its nominal dimensions of 2000 mm x 300 mm distinguish it from the smaller side extension door options intended for 8-way and 12-way assemblies.
ABB also lists the EPX-SED08 for compatible 8-way panelboards and the EPX-SED12 for compatible 12-way panelboards. These products have different nominal heights and should be selected according to the corresponding enclosure size rather than treated as interchangeable components.
For applications requiring a door with a dedicated metering provision, ABB separately identifies the EPX-SED18M side extension metered door. The EPX-SED18 is the plain version and should be selected where the specified assembly requires a non-metered side extension door.
The EPX-SED18 is an enclosure accessory rather than a complete side extension box. The corresponding side extension compartment, compatible door hardware and any additional installation components must be selected according to the relevant ABB product documentation. The door itself does not provide circuit protection, switching functionality or an independent electrical current rating.
The ingress protection and mechanical performance of the completed assembly depend on the enclosure configuration, door installation, hinges, locking arrangement and any applicable sealing components. Installers should follow ABB's assembly instructions and verify that the finished panelboard meets the electrical and environmental requirements of the installation.
