Why Choose the ABB EPX-METERLINK Meter-to-Meter Supply Link Cable Kit?
The ABB EPX-METERLINK is a dedicated 200 mm meter-to-meter supply link cable kit designed for compatible ABB Protecta Power electrical distribution metering installations. It provides a short electrical supply link between suitably arranged energy meters, supporting the development of coordinated multi-meter installations within the Protecta Power system.
Part of the ABB Protecta Power Enclosures product group, the EPX-METERLINK is identified by ABB order code 1TVS151800S3523. Its manufacturer description is EPX Meter-Meter Supply Link Cable Kit. ABB's Protecta Power product selection information identifies the accessory as a meter-to-meter supply link cable with a length of 200 mm.
The EPX-METERLINK is particularly relevant where compatible meters are installed close together and the electrical design requires a short supply connection between them. It is a meter power distribution accessory, not a complete energy meter, current transformer kit or data communication cable. For longer connections between separate metering chambers, ABB offers the related EPX-METERLINK-L 2 m cross-chamber power link cable.
Key Advantages
- Purpose-designed meter-to-meter supply link cable for compatible ABB Protecta Power metering installations.
- 200 mm cable length for short-distance connections between suitably positioned meters.
- Supports coordinated electrical supply connections in multi-meter arrangements.
- Provides a manufacturer-specified accessory rather than requiring selection of an unspecified general-purpose cable.
- Designed for integration with compatible ABB Protecta Power energy metering equipment.
- Useful where multiple meters are installed within the same metering area.
- Supports organised internal wiring arrangements when installed according to ABB instructions.
- Can be specified alongside the EPX-METERFUSE meter power supply kit.
- Offers a shorter alternative to the separately available 2 m cross-chamber link cable.
- Suitable for commercial and industrial electrical distribution panel-building projects.

200mm Meter-to-Meter Power Supply Linking for Protecta Power
The ABB Protecta Power range provides a modular approach to low-voltage electrical distribution, including a selection of incoming and outgoing energy metering accessories. Where several energy meters are installed within a compatible distribution assembly, the electrical design may require an appropriate supply connection between adjacent meters. The EPX-METERLINK provides ABB's dedicated 200 mm meter-to-meter supply link cable for this purpose.
The cable's 200 mm length makes it suitable for short connections where the meter positions and approved wiring route accommodate that distance. It should not be assumed that the link will reach between every meter position or enclosure arrangement. Meter spacing, cable routing, termination requirements and access for maintenance must be checked against the intended Protecta Power assembly before installation.
The EPX-METERLINK is intended for electrical power supply linking, which is distinct from the communication wiring used by energy meters with Modbus or other monitoring interfaces. A meter may require separate connections for its electrical supply, voltage measurement inputs, current transformers and communication functions. The EPX-METERLINK should therefore be used only for the supply-linking function specified by ABB, with the remaining connections completed according to the applicable meter and panelboard documentation.
ABB also offers the EPX-METERFUSE, a meter power supply kit containing a fuse block and power cable to the meter. The EPX-METERFUSE and EPX-METERLINK perform different functions: the former provides components for the meter supply connection, while the latter provides a short link between compatible meters. The complete installation must use the correct protective arrangement, cable connections and meter supply configuration.
For installations requiring a longer connection between metering chambers, ABB lists the EPX-METERLINK-L as a 2 m meter-to-meter cross-chamber power link cable. This longer accessory is distinct from the 200 mm EPX-METERLINK. Selection should be based on the actual meter positions, enclosure arrangement and ABB's installation requirements rather than cable length alone.
