Why Choose the ABB EPP-CMS160 Protecta Plus 160 A Circuit Monitoring System Incomer Kit?
The ABB EPP-CMS160 is a 160 A Circuit Monitoring System (CMS) distribution board incomer and outgoing control unit designed for compatible ABB Protecta Plus distribution boards. Identified by ABB order code 1TVS151800S3176, it provides the central control hardware required to integrate detailed circuit-level monitoring into a Protecta Plus electrical distribution system.
The ABB CMS solution combines a control unit with individual current sensors to provide monitoring of outgoing electrical circuits. The EPP-CMS160 control unit can manage up to 96 sensors and supports Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP and SNMP v1/v2/v3, enabling monitoring data to be integrated with compatible building management and energy management systems.
Designed as a top or bottom extension control unit, the EPP-CMS160 measures 200 × 450 × 125 mm. The kit includes the control unit, incoming CTs and fuses, a 5 m ribbon cable, a pack of 35 sensor connectors and an RJ45 connection, providing the principal components required to establish ABB CMS monitoring within a compatible Protecta Plus distribution board.

Circuit-Level Monitoring and Energy Management
The ABB Circuit Monitoring System enables electrical loads to be monitored at individual circuit level, providing detailed visibility of energy use within a distribution system. With support for up to 96 sensors, the EPP-CMS160 control unit can collect data from a substantial number of circuits, helping users analyse consumption, identify unusual load behaviour and improve electrical system visibility.
Support for Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP and SNMP enables CMS data to be integrated with compatible building management and energy management platforms. The integrated web server provides access to online and historical values with quick data export, while email and FTP alarm functionality supports remote supervision of monitored electrical circuits.
Typical Applications
- Commercial building energy monitoring.
- Individual distribution circuit monitoring.
- Industrial electrical energy management.
- Building management system integration.
- Energy usage analysis and load monitoring.
- Protecta Plus installations requiring remote monitoring and historical circuit data.
