Why Choose the ABB MBU158 Meter Plate Expansion 1PW?
The ABB MBU158 is a modular meter plate expansion from the ABB CombiLine interior expansion system. Supplied under ABB order code 2CPX041812R9999, this unassembled measuring-device module provides dedicated installation positions for panel-mounted instruments within compatible low-voltage sub-distribution assemblies.
Designed in a compact 1PW / one-field-width format, the MBU158 measures 250 mm wide × 450 mm high and provides 36 space units. It is unpopulated and designed to accommodate up to four measuring devices with 96 × 96 mm installation dimensions, with the instruments arranged horizontally within the module.
At its 450 mm module height, the MBU158 also incorporates an additional DIN rail providing 12 space units for rail-mounted devices. Plastic covers with equipment cut-outs, 90-degree press-and-turn closures and compatibility with both EDF and WR mounting frames make it a flexible solution for combining instrumentation and modular equipment in professional distribution panels.

Flexible Metering and DIN-Rail Equipment Integration
Panel-mounted measuring instruments provide operators with direct access to electrical measurements and system information within low-voltage distribution equipment. The ABB MBU158 provides four dedicated 96 × 96 mm instrument positions in a horizontal arrangement, creating an organised interface for compatible metering and monitoring devices.
Unlike the shorter measuring-device modules, the 450 mm-high MBU158 also incorporates an additional DIN rail with 12 space units for rail-mounted devices. This combination allows instrumentation and supplementary modular equipment to be integrated into the same 1PW panel section, helping panel builders make efficient use of available distribution-board space.
Typical Applications
- ABB CombiLine sub-distribution assemblies.
- Panel-mounted electrical measuring instruments.
- Low-voltage distribution-board metering and monitoring.
- Combined measuring-device and DIN-rail equipment installations.
- Commercial and industrial switchboards.
- Panel-building and distribution-board expansion projects.
