Reliable Modular Electrical Distribution and Equipment Protection
Modular electrical enclosures such as the ABB 856120 APO AP71DIN2 provide an organised and accessible housing for electrical distribution and protection equipment. The enclosure accommodates 28 standard modular units arranged across two DIN-rail rows, making it suitable for electrical assemblies containing miniature circuit breakers, residual current devices, isolators and other compatible modular components.
The ABB APO enclosure series is manufactured using glass-fibre reinforced polyester, a durable material offering excellent corrosion resistance and electrical insulation properties. ABB designs the APO range for demanding industrial environments, with series-level characteristics including double insulation, high mechanical durability and resistance to challenging operating conditions.
The transparent pivoting cover provides convenient visibility of installed modular devices, allowing operators and maintenance personnel to inspect equipment positions and indications without immediately opening the enclosure. When access is required, the cover can be opened to reach the operating fronts of the installed components.
The equipped enclosure arrangement includes a DIN-rail chassis, front plate and earthing terminal, supporting a professional modular distribution layout. The integrated cable entry provisions provide flexibility for routing incoming supply conductors and outgoing circuit wiring, subject to the selected glands, cable sizes and installation requirements.
With dimensions of 302 × 372 × 175 mm, the enclosure combines a practical mounting footprint with sufficient depth for compatible modular electrical equipment. Its RAL 7035 light grey polyester housing offers a clean industrial appearance and is suitable for use in appropriately designed electrical installations.
The wider ABB APO family includes enclosure solutions with ingress protection up to IP67 and impact resistance up to IK08. The protection rating applicable to the ABB 856120 must be established for its specific equipped configuration and completed installation, including the cover, cable entries and sealing arrangements.
