Why Choose the ABB EPX-METERFUSE Meter Power Supply Kit?
The ABB EPX-METERFUSE is a dedicated meter power supply kit for compatible ABB Protecta Power electrical distribution and energy metering installations. Designed to provide the necessary components for connecting an electrical supply to a suitable energy meter, the kit contains a fuse block and power cable to the meter. It is part of the ABB Protecta Power Enclosures product group and is identified by ABB order code 1TVS151800S3522.
Electrical energy meters require an appropriate auxiliary or voltage supply connection to operate correctly. The EPX-METERFUSE provides a manufacturer-specified accessory for this purpose within the Protecta Power metering system. By combining the fuse block and meter supply cable in one kit, it supports a coordinated approach to metering installation, helping electrical contractors and panel builders specify the relevant power supply components.
The EPX-METERFUSE is listed alongside ABB Protecta Power outgoing metering kits, meter-to-meter supply link cables and cross-chamber power link cables. It is a meter power supply accessory, not a complete energy meter, current transformer kit or distribution panelboard. The correct supply connection, protective device arrangement and compatibility with the installed meter must be verified against the applicable ABB installation documentation.

Dedicated Meter Power Supply for ABB Protecta Power Installations
The ABB Protecta Power range provides a modular approach to low-voltage electrical distribution, including accessories for incoming and outgoing energy metering. A correctly designed metering installation requires more than an energy meter and its associated current transformers. The meter must also receive a suitable electrical supply in accordance with the manufacturer's connection requirements. The EPX-METERFUSE addresses this part of the installation by providing a fuse block and power cable to the meter.
The included fuse block forms part of the meter supply connection arrangement. Its presence does not, by itself, establish the protective performance of the completed circuit. The appropriate fuse specification, supply source, conductor protection and isolation arrangements must be determined from ABB's installation documentation and the electrical design. The kit should be installed only within an arrangement for which its components are suitable.
The included meter power cable provides the dedicated connection component identified by ABB for supplying the meter. Cable routing, termination, separation from other circuits and any required supplementary protection should be carried out according to the relevant assembly instructions. The available manufacturer description does not specify the cable length, conductor size or fuse rating, so these details should be verified before finalising the installation.
ABB lists the EPX-METERFUSE alongside two related metering supply accessories: the EPX-METERLINK, a 200 mm meter-to-meter supply link cable, and the EPX-METERLINK-L, a 2 m meter-to-meter cross-chamber power link cable. These are separate accessories intended for different metering supply connection requirements. The EPX-METERFUSE provides the fuse block and meter power cable, while the link cables are selected where the particular installation calls for connections between compatible meters.
The kit is especially relevant when specifying a complete Protecta Power outgoing metering installation. ABB's outgoing metering range includes single-phase and three-phase energy metering options, including standard and MID-designated variants. These metering kits and their associated chambers are separate products, and the required power supply accessories should be identified as part of the complete panelboard design rather than assumed to be included with every meter.
