Why Choose the ABB EPX-SED08M Side Metered Door 8 Way?
The ABB EPX-SED08M, manufacturer order code 1SKV325140S0001, is a dedicated side extension metered door for compatible ABB Protecta Power 8-way electrical distribution panelboards. With nominal dimensions of 1400 mm high x 300 mm wide, this enclosure accessory is designed for the corresponding side extension arrangement where a metering-compatible door is required.
As part of the ABB Protecta Power Enclosures product range, the EPX-SED08M supports the construction of modular low-voltage distribution assemblies with dedicated side metering arrangements. It provides a manufacturer-designated door option for compatible side extension compartments, helping panel builders incorporate metering provisions while maintaining the intended enclosure configuration.
The metered door configuration distinguishes the EPX-SED08M from the standard plain side extension door. ABB lists this accessory as the Side Extension Metered Door H1400 x W300 (8-way panelboard), providing a clear reference for selecting the correct door size and application.
For electrical contractors, switchgear manufacturers and professional panel builders, the ABB EPX-SED08M offers a straightforward way to specify the correct metered door accessory for compatible Protecta Power installations. Its dedicated ABB order code supports accurate procurement, assembly planning and replacement identification.

Metered Side Extension Door Integration for ABB Protecta Power
The ABB Protecta Power range provides modular low-voltage electrical distribution panelboards for commercial and industrial installations. Its enclosure system accommodates a variety of distribution arrangements, including outgoing circuit protection, cable-management provisions and dedicated accessories for electrical metering applications.
Side extension compartments can provide additional space alongside a compatible panelboard. In metered configurations, this space may accommodate designated metering equipment and associated wiring arrangements, subject to the manufacturer's approved enclosure design. Selecting the appropriate door is an important part of completing the intended metering compartment assembly.
The ABB EPX-SED08M is listed in ABB's Protecta Power accessories catalogue as a Side Extension Metered Door H1400 x W300 (8-way panelboard). Its 1400 mm x 300 mm nominal dimensions correspond to the 8-way side extension format, distinguishing it from the larger 12-way and 18-way door options.
ABB also identifies the EPX-SIDECABLE-08M as a metering side extension enclosure for compatible 8-way Protecta Power panelboards. That enclosure arrangement provides space for up to four metering positions according to the manufacturer's product selection information. The EPX-SED08M is a separately designated metered door accessory; its product description does not establish that meters, current transformers or the complete side extension box are included.
For installations that do not require the metered door configuration, ABB separately lists the EPX-SED08 plain side extension door. The EPX-SED08 and EPX-SED08M share the same nominal height and width but are intended for different door arrangements. The correct variant should be selected according to the specified enclosure and metering requirements.
The Protecta Power range also includes the EPX-SED12M and EPX-SED18M metered side extension doors for compatible 12-way and 18-way panelboards. These variants have different nominal heights and should not be treated as interchangeable with the EPX-SED08M without confirmation from ABB.
The EPX-SED08M is an enclosure door accessory, not an electrical energy meter, current transformer, protective device or complete panelboard. Its role is to form part of the compatible metering enclosure arrangement. Electrical measurement and protection functions depend on the separately selected equipment installed within the completed assembly.
For professional installation, panel builders should confirm the applicable enclosure compatibility, metering arrangement, hinge and locking requirements, and any necessary sealing components. The ingress protection and mechanical performance of the finished panelboard depend on the complete enclosure configuration and correct assembly in accordance with ABB's instructions.
