Why Choose the ABB 288990 IP40 Cable Compartment Cover?
The ABB 288990 is an IP40 cable compartment cover intended for compatible electrical switchgear and power distribution assemblies. Identified by ABB order code 7GDS288990R0000, this component belongs to the manufacturer's GT product group and is designated for applications requiring an IP40 covering arrangement within an electrical cable compartment.
Cable compartments provide designated spaces for electrical conductors, cable terminations and associated connection equipment within switchgear assemblies. Properly selected covers help complete the mechanical enclosure, establish defined compartment boundaries and contribute to the intended protection arrangement of the finished electrical equipment.
The ABB 288990 IP40 Cable Compartment Cover is suitable for original switchgear construction, compatible replacement and equipment refurbishment projects where this exact component is specified. Its IP40 designation identifies an enclosure protection classification, while the achieved protection of the complete assembly depends on correct installation and the configuration of all associated components.

IP40 Cable Compartment Protection and Enclosure Integration
The IP40 classification, defined by IEC 60529, describes an enclosure protection arrangement that prevents the entry of solid foreign objects measuring 1 mm in diameter or greater and provides the corresponding protection against access to hazardous parts. The second digit, zero, indicates that no water ingress protection is specified. IP40 should therefore not be interpreted as a waterproof or weatherproof classification.
The ABB 288990 is specifically identified as an IP40 cable compartment cover. When installed within a compatible switchgear assembly, it can form part of the enclosure's intended protective arrangement. Correct positioning, fixing and integration with adjacent panels and cable entry arrangements are essential. The cover alone does not establish the IP rating of the complete electrical cabinet.
Typical Applications
- Compatible IP40 cable compartment covering arrangements.
- Industrial electrical switchgear assemblies.
- Electrical power distribution switchboards.
- Switchgear cable termination compartments.
- Original equipment manufacturing and electrical panel building.
- Replacement of specified cable compartment covers.
- Electrical cabinet maintenance and refurbishment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ABB 288990 IP40 Cable Compartment Cover used for?
The ABB 288990 is a cover intended for compatible electrical switchgear cable compartments requiring the specified IP40 covering arrangement.
What does IP40 mean?
IP40 is an ingress protection classification defined by IEC 60529. It indicates protection against solid objects of 1 mm diameter and greater, with no specified protection against water ingress.
What is the ABB order code for the 288990 Cable Compartment Cover?
The manufacturer order code is 7GDS288990R0000, and the product designation is 288990.
Does the ABB 288990 provide waterproof protection?
No. The IP40 designation does not specify protection against water ingress. Suitability for wet or outdoor environments must be established from the complete enclosure specification.
What is the difference between ABB 288990 and ABB 288989?
Both products are designated as IP40 cable compartment covers, but they have different ABB order codes. The 288990 uses 7GDS288990R0000, while the 288989 uses 7GDS288989R0000. Their physical differences and interchangeability must be confirmed from the relevant switchgear documentation.
Can the ABB 288990 be installed in any electrical switchgear cabinet?
No. Compatibility depends on the cable compartment structure, mounting arrangement and enclosure design. The cover should only be installed where ABB 288990 is specified or its suitability has been confirmed.
