Why Choose the ABB EPX-ICMETER400 400A Incomer Metering Kit?
The ABB EPX-ICMETER400, manufacturer order code 1TVS151800S3351, is a 400 A incoming metering kit designed for compatible ABB Protecta Power electrical distribution panelboards. Featuring an ABB M4M energy meter with pulse output and Modbus communication, this kit provides a coordinated solution for monitoring electrical consumption at the incoming supply of a low-voltage distribution assembly.
As part of the ABB Protecta Power Enclosures range, the EPX-ICMETER400 combines metering equipment with the associated installation accessories required for its designated panelboard arrangement. The manufacturer identifies the kit as a 400 A Incomer Meter Kit – M4M Pulse / Modbus, making it suitable for applications where incoming electrical measurements need to be monitored locally or integrated into compatible building and energy management systems.
The kit includes a top or bottom extension box, ABB M4M meter, fixing brackets, current transformers (CTs) and terminals. Its designated extension box measures 300 mm high × 1000 mm wide, providing a coordinated metering arrangement for compatible Protecta Power distribution boards.

Incoming Energy Metering for 400A Protecta Power Distribution Boards
Monitoring the incoming electrical supply is an important part of understanding energy consumption across a distribution board and its connected loads. The ABB EPX-ICMETER400 provides a dedicated metering arrangement for compatible 400 A Protecta Power incomers, allowing electrical measurements to be collected through an ABB M4M meter and associated current transformers.
The included M4M Pulse / Modbus meter supports electrical energy monitoring and communication with compatible external systems. Pulse outputs can be used in suitable pulse-counting applications, while Modbus communication allows measurement data to be exchanged with compatible supervisory equipment. This makes the kit relevant to electrical energy management, building monitoring and distribution system performance analysis.
The manufacturer-specified package includes a top or bottom extension box, meter, fixing brackets, CTs and terminals. The extension box is specified at 300 mm high × 1000 mm wide. This arrangement allows the metering equipment to be integrated into the corresponding Protecta Power enclosure configuration using designated ABB components.
ABB offers incoming metering kits for several incomer ratings, including 250 A, 400 A, 630 A and 800 A. The EPX-ICMETER400 is the standard 400 A M4M Pulse / Modbus version, while the EPX-ICMETER400MID is separately listed with MID metering functionality. Where certified billing or other regulated metering is required, the suitability of the selected meter variant should be confirmed against the applicable requirements.
The EPX-ICMETER400 is a metering accessory rather than an incoming circuit breaker or switch-disconnector. The completed distribution assembly requires appropriately selected incoming protection, electrical connections and installation arrangements. Current transformer installation, meter wiring, communications configuration and commissioning should be performed in accordance with ABB's instructions.
