1STQ002088B0000 ABB PRAS0012 System pro E Power Seismic Reinforcement Kit 12 Brackets

Why Choose the ABB PRAS0012 System pro E Power Seismic Reinforcement Kit?

The ABB PRAS0012 is a specialist seismic reinforcement kit for main electrical distribution boards, designed for use with the ABB System pro E Power modular switchboard range. This reinforcement accessory helps strengthen compatible low-voltage distribution cabinet structures where additional mechanical stability and earthquake resistance are required.

As part of ABB's System pro E Power enclosure accessory range, the PRAS0012 provides structural reinforcement for main distribution switchboards installed in environments subject to seismic activity. The kit comprises 12 reinforcement brackets designed to improve the mechanical integrity of compatible switchboard structures when installed in accordance with ABB's assembly requirements.

The PRAS0012 is particularly suitable for industrial and commercial power distribution installations where seismic performance is an important design consideration. When used with the appropriate ABB seismic plinth and other specified structural accessories, it contributes to switchboard configurations designed for seismic resistance of up to 1 g zero-period acceleration (ZPA), subject to the applicable enclosure configuration and installation conditions.

Key Advantages

• Purpose-designed seismic reinforcement kit for ABB System pro E Power switchboards.
• Contains 12 structural reinforcement brackets for compatible cabinet assemblies.

Reliable Seismic Reinforcement for Main Distribution Boards

Main electrical distribution switchboards must maintain adequate mechanical stability to support the safe operation of power distribution equipment. In installations exposed to earthquake activity, additional structural reinforcement may be necessary to meet project-specific seismic performance requirements.

The ABB PRAS0012 reinforcement kit forms part of ABB's seismic reinforcement solution for System pro E Power switchboards. Its reinforcement brackets strengthen designated structural connections and support the mechanical stability of compatible cabinet assemblies.

For qualifying configurations, the PRAS0012 can be combined with the ABB PPUN0100 seismic plinth and other specified structural components to achieve seismic resistance of up to 1 g ZPA. The actual seismic capability depends on the cabinet dimensions, structural configuration, installed equipment, mounting arrangement and compliance with ABB's installation instructions.

The kit is a structural accessory rather than a complete distribution board. Circuit breakers, busbars, electrical protection devices, enclosure panels and other switchboard components must be selected separately according to the intended electrical installation.

Typical Applications

• ABB System pro E Power main distribution switchboards.
• Electrical distribution installations in seismic-risk regions.
• Industrial low-voltage power distribution cabinets.
• Commercial building main electrical distribution boards.
• Critical infrastructure electrical installations.
• Data centres and telecommunications power distribution facilities.
• Utility and industrial electrical equipment rooms.
• Switchboard manufacturing projects requiring structural seismic reinforcement.
