Why Choose the ABB EPX-ICMETER800MID 800A Incomer Metering Kit?
The ABB EPX-ICMETER800MID is a dedicated 800 A incoming supply metering kit with an MID-designated energy meter, developed for compatible ABB Protecta Power electrical distribution assemblies. Part of the ABB Protecta Power Enclosures product group, this kit provides a coordinated solution for monitoring electrical energy consumption at the incoming supply of a low-voltage distribution panelboard. Its ABB order code is 1TVS151800S3357.
The EPX-ICMETER800MID incorporates ABB M4M energy metering technology with pulse output, Modbus communication and an MID-designated meter. It is intended for electrical distribution projects where incoming energy measurement, communication with compatible monitoring systems and appropriate metering certification are important considerations.
Unlike outgoing metering kits that require a separately specified side extension chamber, the EPX-ICMETER800MID includes a top/bottom extension box alongside the meter, fixing brackets, current transformers and terminals. ABB specifies a nominal extension enclosure size of 300 × 1000 mm (H × W). This integrated arrangement supports the installation of incoming energy monitoring equipment within compatible Protecta Power distribution systems.

800A Incoming Energy Monitoring with MID Metering and Modbus Connectivity
The ABB Protecta Power system provides a modular platform for low-voltage electrical distribution in commercial and industrial installations. Incoming metering allows electrical energy consumption to be measured at the supply entering a distribution assembly, providing information that can support building energy management, operational monitoring and electrical consumption reporting.
The ABB EPX-ICMETER800MID is designed for an 800 A incomer metering arrangement and uses an MID-designated ABB M4M meter. The Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) establishes conformity requirements for specified measuring instruments, including applicable active electrical energy meters. Where measurement results are intended for regulated billing or other legally controlled purposes, the certification of the meter, the complete current transformer measurement arrangement and the applicable regulatory requirements must be verified.
The kit's pulse output supports energy data collection through compatible monitoring equipment, while Modbus communication provides a means of exchanging measurement information with suitable building management and energy monitoring systems. The precise measurement parameters, communication settings and connection requirements depend on the supplied ABB M4M meter and its technical documentation.
ABB specifies that its Protecta Power incomer metering kits include a top/bottom extension box, meter, fixing brackets, current transformers and terminals. For the EPX-ICMETER800MID, the extension enclosure has nominal dimensions of 300 × 1000 mm. This differs from ABB's outgoing metering kits, for which a compatible side extension enclosure with metering provision is ordered separately.
The Protecta Power range also includes the EPX-ICMETER800, a standard 800 A M4M pulse / Modbus incomer metering kit without the MID designation. Other MID-designated incoming metering options include the EPX-ICMETER250MID, EPX-ICMETER400MID and EPX-ICMETER630MID. Selection should be based on the intended incoming supply arrangement, compatible distribution assembly and project-specific metering requirements.
