Why Choose the ABB EPX-METER250MID-TP 250A Three-Phase MID Metering Kit?
The ABB EPX-METER250MID-TP is a dedicated 160–250 A three-phase outgoing metering kit for the ABB Protecta Power low-voltage distribution system. Designed to provide electrical energy measurement on compatible outgoing circuits, this kit combines ABB M4M metering technology with MID-approved energy measurement, pulse output and Modbus communication.
As part of the ABB Protecta Power Enclosures accessory range, the EPX-METER250MID-TP enables electrical contractors, panel builders and facilities managers to incorporate energy monitoring into suitable distribution board assemblies. The kit is designed for three-phase outgoing circuits within the 160–250 A application range, making it particularly useful where individual feeder consumption, operational efficiency or electrical energy usage needs to be monitored.
The kit includes an ABB M4M meter, fixing brackets, current transformer (CT) and terminals. It requires a compatible Protecta Power side extension box with metering provision, which must be ordered separately. Identified by ABB order code 1TVS151800S3347, the EPX-METER250MID-TP provides a coordinated metering solution for professional three-phase power distribution installations.

Reliable Three-Phase Energy Monitoring with MID Approval
Accurate electrical energy monitoring is increasingly important in commercial and industrial power distribution. Monitoring individual outgoing circuits helps facilities teams understand energy consumption, identify changes in demand and assess how electrical power is being used across different areas of a building or installation.
The ABB EPX-METER250MID-TP is designed to support these requirements by providing a coordinated three-phase M4M metering arrangement for outgoing circuits in the 160–250 A range. Its current transformer-based configuration allows the meter to monitor the circuit through suitable CT connections rather than carrying the full outgoing load current directly through the measuring instrument.
The inclusion of MID-approved metering is particularly valuable where electrical energy measurements must meet applicable regulatory requirements. The MID designation relates to the approved metering configuration; suitability for a particular billing or cost-allocation application must still be assessed against the relevant installation and regulatory requirements.
Modbus communication enables the meter to exchange information with compatible supervisory systems, while the pulse output provides an additional means of transferring energy consumption information to suitable monitoring devices. These capabilities support centralised electrical monitoring, energy reporting and integration with building energy management infrastructure.
For correct installation, the EPX-METER250MID-TP must be fitted within a compatible ABB Protecta Power side extension enclosure with metering provision. The meter, current transformer connections, voltage measurement connections and communication wiring must be installed in accordance with ABB instructions. CT selection, polarity, ratio configuration and commissioning should be checked to ensure the displayed energy measurements are accurate.
