Why Choose the ABB 288831 Internal Cover – MCC 10/20?

The ABB 288831 Internal Cover – MCC 10/20 (7GDS288831R0000) is a dedicated internal switchgear cover component designed for compatible motor control centre (MCC) assemblies. Listed within the ABB GT product group, this accessory supports the construction, maintenance and refurbishment of low-voltage electrical distribution and motor control equipment.

Identified by the manufacturer's description 288831 INTERNAL COVER - MCC 10/20, this component is intended for a specific MCC configuration. Its purpose is to provide internal covering within the designated switchgear arrangement, helping maintain the intended mechanical layout and separation of equipment areas.

The ABB 288831 is particularly relevant to electrical panel builders, switchgear manufacturers and industrial maintenance engineers requiring an accurately identified replacement or assembly component. Its unique ABB order code 7GDS288831R0000 helps distinguish it from other internal covers intended for different MCC configurations.

For professional switchgear installations, selecting the correct internal cover is important because panel arrangements can vary according to frame dimensions, functional unit layout and manufacturer-specific mounting requirements.

Internal Covering for Motor Control Centre Switchgear

A motor control centre (MCC) is an electrical assembly used to accommodate equipment for controlling, protecting and distributing electrical power to motors and associated industrial loads. Depending on the installation, an MCC may contain motor starters, contactors, circuit breakers, control devices, monitoring equipment and power distribution components.

Internal cover components such as the ABB 288831 MCC 10/20 form part of the physical construction of these assemblies. Their role is to cover designated internal spaces and support the equipment layout established by the switchgear manufacturer.

Correctly selected covers contribute to an organised panel arrangement and help maintain the intended boundaries between accessible and enclosed areas. However, the precise protective function of an internal cover depends on its position, construction and relationship with the surrounding switchgear components.

The MCC 10/20 designation identifies the intended switchgear configuration. In some switchgear naming conventions, similar numerical designations correspond to nominal frame dimensions; however, the designation alone should not be treated as confirmation of the ABB 288831 cover's physical dimensions. The exact component size and mounting geometry should be checked against the relevant manufacturer's drawing.

The ABB GT range includes several internal cover variants for different switchgear arrangements. The ABB 288830, for example, is identified as an Internal Cover – MCC 10/22, whereas the ABB 288831 is specifically designated for MCC 10/20. These different references should not be considered interchangeable without confirmation from the relevant ABB assembly documentation.

In professional low-voltage switchgear construction, the positioning of internal covers must be considered alongside electrical clearances, access requirements, temperature rise and internal separation arrangements. The complete assembly may be designed and verified to the applicable requirements of BS EN IEC 61439, but the individual ABB 288831 cover does not independently establish a particular ingress protection rating, electrical insulation classification or form of separation.

When replacing an internal MCC cover, it is important to confirm the correct part number, the intended mounting position and the condition of the associated frame and fixing components. The ABB 288831 7GDS288831R0000 should be installed only where specified by the relevant switchgear documentation and by appropriately qualified electrical personnel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ABB 288831 7GDS288831R0000 used for?

The ABB 288831 is an internal cover component intended for compatible MCC 10/20 motor control centre switchgear assemblies. It supports the internal covering arrangement specified for the relevant electrical panel construction.

What does MCC 10/20 mean in the ABB 288831 description?

MCC stands for motor control centre. The 10/20 designation identifies the particular MCC configuration for which the internal cover is intended. The associated switchgear dimensions and exact cover measurements should be confirmed from the applicable manufacturer documentation.

What is the ABB order code for the 288831 internal cover?

The ABB order code is 7GDS288831R0000. The manufacturer reference is 288831, and the product belongs to the ABB GT product group.

Is the ABB 288831 the same as the ABB 288830 internal cover?

No. The ABB 288831 is designated Internal Cover – MCC 10/20, whereas the ABB 288830 is designated Internal Cover – MCC 10/22. They are different manufacturer references and should not be treated as interchangeable without checking the relevant switchgear parts list.

What are the dimensions of the ABB 288831 internal cover?

The product is identified by the MCC 10/20 configuration designation, but its exact physical width, height and thickness are not established by the product description alone. Consult the applicable ABB technical drawing for confirmed component dimensions.

What material is the ABB 288831 internal cover made from?

The manufacturer description identifies the product as an internal MCC cover but does not establish its exact material, thickness or surface finish. These details should be verified using the relevant ABB product or assembly documentation.

Does the ABB 288831 provide a specific IP rating?

The ABB 288831 is an internal switchgear cover component and does not independently establish an IP rating. The ingress protection of the installation depends on the complete enclosure design, its assembled components and the verified installation arrangement.

Can the ABB 288831 be used as a replacement MCC internal cover?

Yes, where the existing motor control centre specifically requires ABB part 288831. Before replacement, confirm the order code, MCC configuration, fixing arrangement and compatibility with the installed switchgear. Work must be undertaken by qualified personnel using appropriate safe isolation procedures.

Does the ABB 288831 include a complete motor control centre enclosure?

No. The ABB 288831 7GDS288831R0000 is an internal cover component, not a complete motor control centre enclosure or switchgear assembly. Frames, external covers, busbars and other equipment must be selected separately as required by the manufacturer's design.

What should be checked before ordering the ABB 288831?

Confirm the ABB order code 7GDS288831R0000, the MCC 10/20 configuration, the switchgear assembly reference and the applicable manufacturer's parts list. The required internal mounting position and any associated fixing components should also be checked before installation.
