Why Choose the ABB PPEA1857 IP4X/IP5X AER Side/Back Panel?
The ABB PPEA1857 is a dedicated IP4X/IP5X AER side/back enclosure panel from the ABB System pro E power range of modular low-voltage switchboard components. Identified by the manufacturer designation IP4X_IP5X AER.SIDE/BACK PAN H1800 W500, this panel is specified for compatible switchboard arrangements requiring a nominal 1800 mm height and 500 mm width.
ABB System pro E power provides a modular platform for constructing low-voltage electrical distribution switchboards using coordinated enclosure frames, structural profiles, side and rear panels, doors, mounting components and internal installation accessories. The PPEA1857 forms part of this system, providing a manufacturer-designated enclosure covering component for the corresponding AER configuration.
The product designation identifies IP4X and IP5X as associated enclosure protection classifications. These designations make the panel relevant to switchboard designs requiring the corresponding protection against access to hazardous parts and the ingress of solid foreign objects. The final degree of protection depends on the complete enclosure construction, including compatible panels, doors, joints, fixings and any required sealing arrangements.
With its specified 1800 mm × 500 mm dimensions, the ABB PPEA1857 supports accurate component selection for professional switchboard construction, enclosure assembly and compatible refurbishment projects. The official ABB order code is 1STQ004198B0000.

Reliable Side and Rear Enclosure Integration for IP4X/IP5X Switchboards
Low-voltage electrical switchboards require correctly selected enclosure panels to complete their mechanical structure and support the intended degree of protection. Side and rear panels form part of the physical enclosure boundary, helping separate installed electrical equipment from the surrounding environment when correctly integrated into the complete assembly.
The ABB PPEA1857 is specifically designated as an AER side/back panel with a nominal height of 1800 mm and width of 500 mm. These dimensions help panel builders select the appropriate covering component for the corresponding ABB System pro E power enclosure configuration.
The manufacturer designation includes IP4X and IP5X. Under the IP classification system, IP4X indicates protection against access with a wire and against solid foreign objects measuring 1 mm or larger. IP5X indicates dust-protected construction, in which dust ingress is not entirely prevented but must not occur in quantities that interfere with satisfactory equipment operation or impair safety. IP5X also provides protection against access with a wire.
These classifications relate to the applicable enclosure arrangement rather than automatically being achieved by an individual uninstalled panel. The completed switchboard must use the appropriate structural components, panel interfaces, doors, fixings and any required sealing accessories to achieve its specified protection classification.
The AER identifier is part of the ABB product designation and should be matched to the relevant System pro E power installation documentation. The supplied product information does not establish the panel material, surface finish, thickness, fixing hardware or sealing component contents. These characteristics should be checked where they affect the intended installation.
ABB System pro E power supports modular switchboard construction through coordinated enclosure structures and accessories. Selecting a manufacturer-designated component such as the PPEA1857 helps maintain consistency between the specified enclosure dimensions and the installed side or rear covering arrangement.
The PPEA1857 is a mechanical enclosure accessory, not an electrical protective device. It does not independently determine the current rating, short-circuit withstand capability, electrical protection functions or ingress protection rating of the completed switchboard. The overall assembly should be designed and verified according to the applicable IEC/EN 61439 requirements, with the intended enclosure protection assessed against the relevant IP classification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ABB PPEA1857 used for?
The ABB PPEA1857 is an IP4X/IP5X AER side/back enclosure panel designed for compatible ABB System pro E power low-voltage switchboard assemblies requiring a panel with a specified height of 1800 mm and width of 500 mm.
What are the dimensions of the ABB PPEA1857 panel?
The manufacturer designation specifies a 1800 mm height and 500 mm width. These are the stated panel dimensions; thickness and other physical measurements are not established by the supplied designation.
What do IP4X and IP5X mean for the PPEA1857?
IP4X identifies protection against access with a wire and against solid foreign objects of 1 mm and larger. IP5X identifies dust-protected construction and protection against access with a wire. The completed enclosure must be correctly designed and assembled to achieve its specified protection classification.
Can the ABB PPEA1857 be installed as a side panel or back panel?
The manufacturer designation identifies the PPEA1857 as a side/back panel. Its use in either position depends on the compatible ABB System pro E power enclosure arrangement and the applicable installation drawings.
What does AER mean in the ABB PPEA1857 designation?
AER is the configuration identifier included in the ABB manufacturer designation. Its exact installation meaning and compatibility requirements should be confirmed using the relevant System pro E power technical documentation.
Does the PPEA1857 automatically make a switchboard IP5X rated?
No. The PPEA1857 is associated with IP4X/IP5X enclosure configurations, but the final protection classification depends on the complete switchboard construction, including the frame, panel interfaces, doors, fixing arrangements and any required sealing components.
