Why Choose the ABB ZW340 3PW Mounting Plate for Electrical Distribution Systems?
The ABB ZW340 Mounting Plate (ABB order code 2CPX067940R9999) is a robust 3-panel-width steel mounting plate designed for equipment installation within compatible ABB STRIEBEL & JOHN electrical distribution assemblies. Part of the ABB CombiLine interior expansion system, the ZW340 provides a practical mounting surface for electrical components requiring recessed installation between the distribution board's mounting frame members.
Manufactured from 2 mm thick galvanised sheet steel, the ZW340 measures 266 × 688 mm (height × width). It is designed for 3-panel-width (3PW / 3FB) distribution arrangements with a nominal mounting height of 2 row units (2 RE), corresponding to the M(B)M312 mounting configuration.
The ZW340 is intended for recessed mounting between the mounting frame members using compatible deep mounting brackets. These additional brackets, such as ABB's ZW59P2 deep mounting angle accessory where specified, must be ordered separately. Supplied as a single mounting plate, the ZW340 offers a reliable mechanical installation platform for electrical panel builders, switchboard manufacturers and electrical contractors working with ABB modular distribution systems.

Reliable Equipment Mounting for ABB CombiLine Distribution Assemblies
The ABB ZW340 provides a manufacturer-defined mechanical mounting surface for compatible electrical distribution equipment. Its 3-panel-width configuration allows components to be arranged across a substantial section of an ABB modular distribution assembly, supporting professional switchboard construction and equipment installation.
The plate is manufactured from 2 mm thick galvanised sheet steel. This construction provides mechanical rigidity while the galvanised finish helps protect the steel surface against corrosion in suitable installation environments. The mounting plate is intended for use inside an electrical distribution enclosure rather than as a standalone external enclosure component.
With actual dimensions of 266 mm high and 688 mm wide, the ZW340 corresponds to ABB's three-field, two-row M(B)M312 arrangement. The 300 mm nominal height designation refers to the associated modular system dimension; the physical mounting plate itself is 266 mm high.
The ZW340 belongs to ABB's range of mounting plates for installation between the mounting frame members. This recessed arrangement allows electrical equipment to be positioned within the available installation depth using compatible deep mounting brackets.
ABB specifies that deep mounting angles must be ordered separately. Accessories such as the ZW59P2 are used within compatible recessed mounting arrangements, but the complete component selection must be checked against the distribution board's mounting frame and assembly instructions.
Using a system-specific mounting plate helps panel builders maintain the intended equipment positioning and mechanical layout within the ABB distribution assembly. This is particularly important when integrating components alongside busbar supports, mounting frames, covers and other modular interior expansion accessories.
The galvanised mounting surface can support compatible equipment installation using appropriate fixing methods. Any drilling, fastening or equipment positioning must follow the manufacturer's requirements and preserve the necessary electrical clearances, protective bonding and mechanical integrity of the completed assembly.
The ZW340 is a mechanical accessory and does not itself provide electrical insulation, switching, overload protection or short-circuit protection. The suitability of mounted electrical equipment depends on the complete assembly design, including the enclosure, mounting hardware, protective devices and applicable electrical installation standards.
Supplied as one mounting plate, the ZW340 is suitable for new distribution panel construction, extensions to compatible assemblies and replacement of matching mounting plates during maintenance or refurbishment work.
