ABB MBT242 is a 2 PW CombiLine NH1 fuse switch expansion module for two ABB ZH431 fuse switch disconnectors with a 3-pole busbar system and a maximum module rated current of 440 A.
Why Choose the ABB MBT242 NH1 Fuse Switch Expansion 2PW?
The ABB MBT242 is an unassembled NH1 fuse switch disconnector expansion module designed for ABB CombiLine modular distribution assemblies. Supplied under ABB order code 2CPX041777R9999, it provides the mounting infrastructure for installing two ABB NH1 fuse switch disconnectors within compatible low-voltage distribution boards.
The MBT242 is designed for two NH1 fuse switch disconnectors and incorporates a 3-pole busbar system. It is intended for ABB ZH431 NH1 fuse switch disconnectors rated up to 250 A each and supports a maximum module rated current of 440 A in its single-level busbar arrangement.
With a height of 450 mm, width of 500 mm and cabinet-depth requirement of at least 200 mm, the MBT242 corresponds to a 3 RE × 2 PW configuration and provides 72 space units. RAL 7035 plastic covers with equipment cut-outs and 90-degree push-turn fasteners complete the modular assembly, while the fuse switch disconnectors, busbar accessories and mounting frame are selected separately.

NH Fuse Protection and Power Distribution for Electrical Assemblies
NH fuse switch disconnector modules such as the ABB MBT242 provide a structured method of integrating high-capacity fuse protection and switching into low-voltage distribution assemblies. The module positions compatible NH1 fuse switch disconnectors in conjunction with a three-pole busbar system, supporting protected outgoing circuits while maintaining an organised modular panel layout.
The ABB CombiLine system uses standardised interior components to create configurable distribution assemblies. With provision for two 250 A NH1 fuse switch disconnectors, a maximum module rated current of 440 A and a compact 2 PW configuration, the MBT242 provides a practical solution for fused power distribution in commercial and industrial switchboards.
Typical Applications
ABB CombiLine modular distribution assemblies.
NH1 fused outgoing distribution circuits.
Commercial and industrial sub-distribution boards.
Low-voltage electrical distribution cabinets.
Panel-building and switchboard applications.
Three-phase fused power-distribution systems.
