Why Choose the ABB PS 1/57/18 CB Busbar?
The ABB PS 1/57/18 CB is a single-phase comb busbar with auxiliary contact provision designed for efficient power distribution across compatible ABB modular circuit breakers. Featuring 57 pins, it provides a practical solution for supplying multiple protective devices from a common phase while accommodating compatible auxiliary-contact arrangements.
Designed for ABB's UL 489 / UL 1077 modular circuit protection systems, the PS 1/57/18 CB helps simplify panel wiring by replacing multiple individual bridging conductors with a purpose-designed busbar. Its comb-style construction supports orderly and repeatable connections across banks of compatible ABB miniature circuit breakers.
The 1-phase + auxiliary configuration is intended for assemblies where circuit breakers are installed together with compatible auxiliary devices. This makes the PS 1/57/18 CB particularly useful in industrial control panels and distribution equipment where both compact power distribution and auxiliary signalling or control functionality are required.

Efficient Power Distribution with Auxiliary-Device Integration
Comb busbars distribute a common electrical supply across multiple modular protective devices without requiring individual bridging conductors between every circuit breaker. This can reduce wiring time, simplify panel assembly and provide a more consistent electrical connection arrangement.
The ABB PS 1/57/18 CB is specifically configured for single-phase installations incorporating auxiliary devices. Its 57-pin layout makes it suitable for extended modular assemblies where ABB circuit protection equipment and compatible auxiliary functions need to be integrated within an organised distribution system.
