Why Choose the ABB ED224 Extension Frame for Cover 3PW?
The ABB ED224 Extension Frame for Cover 3PW is a specialist cover-raising accessory for compatible ABB electrical distribution boards. Designed to provide additional space between the internal mounting arrangement and the front cover, the ED224 supports professional electrical panel construction, refurbishment and maintenance.
Identified by ABB order code 2CPX062789R9999, the ED224 belongs to the DESUJ Sub Distribution product group. Its manufacturer-listed dimensions are 500 mm wide × 600 mm high × 50 mm deep, and ABB identifies it as the extension frame for the AG24 cover.
The supplied product description refers to the ED224 as a 3PW extension frame. However, ABB's technical catalogue identifies this order code as a two-field-wide extension frame. For installations requiring a three-field-wide frame, the corresponding 600 mm-high model is ABB ED234. The ED224 model and order code should therefore take precedence when checking compatibility.
Manufactured from plastic with a light grey RAL 7035 finish, the ABB ED224 is designed for installations using compatible 52.5 mm cover brackets. The system supports cover-raising arrangements of 25 mm or 35 mm when combined with the appropriate supplementary ABB components.

Cover-Raising Solutions for ABB Distribution Boards
The ABB ED224 Extension Frame is designed for situations where the standard cover position must be adjusted to accommodate a compatible internal equipment arrangement. Raising the cover can be necessary when fitting certain mounting adapters or equipment in vertical modules.
ABB specifies the ED224 for use with the AG24 cover and compatible fields equipped with 52.5 mm cover brackets, including appropriate ED138 arrangements. The extension frame forms part of a defined system of mounting and spacing accessories.
Two cover-raising configurations are identified in ABB's catalogue: 25 mm and 35 mm. Each requires the corresponding supplementary accessory. The correct arrangement must be selected according to the electrical enclosure design and the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Important: ED224 Two-Field Compatibility Versus 3PW Listing
Although the supplied product title includes 3PW, ABB's catalogue assigns ED224 / 2CPX062789R9999 to the two-field-wide extension frame range. The verified external width is 500 mm.
The ABB extension frame range also includes the ED234, order code 2CPX062794R9999, which is the corresponding three-field-wide frame measuring 750 mm wide × 600 mm high. These models are not interchangeable simply because they share the same nominal height.
When ordering a replacement or specifying components for a new distribution board, confirm whether the installation requires the ED224 for AG24 or the ED234 for AG34. Checking the ABB model and order code helps prevent incorrect frame selection.
Plastic Construction and IP2XC Protection Classification
The ED224 is manufactured from plastic and supplied in light grey RAL 7035. This provides a consistent finish alongside compatible ABB distribution board covers and accessories.
The product is listed with an IP2XC protection classification. This designation relates to protection against access to hazardous parts and solid-object ingress under the applicable installation conditions. It does not establish that the frame alone provides a complete protective enclosure.
Correct installation of the extension frame, associated cover, mounting brackets and supplementary accessories is necessary to maintain the intended protection of the completed distribution board. The finished assembly should be assessed against the relevant electrical installation requirements.
