Why Choose the ABB 289987 Cover Holder?
The ABB 289987 Cover Holder (7GDS289987R0000) is a dedicated switchgear cover support and retaining accessory designed for use in compatible electrical distribution and controlgear assemblies. Listed within the ABB GT product group, this component provides a manufacturer-identified solution for applications requiring a specific cover holder as part of an engineered switchgear construction.
Internal and external covers are important elements of low-voltage switchgear assemblies. They help define equipment spaces, provide access to designated components and form part of the overall mechanical enclosure arrangement. The ABB 289987 Cover Holder is intended to support the installation or retention of a compatible cover in accordance with the relevant switchgear design.
Identified by manufacturer reference 289987 and ABB order code 7GDS289987R0000, this accessory is suitable for professional panel builders, switchgear manufacturers and electrical maintenance engineers sourcing components for compatible ABB assemblies.

Cover Mounting and Mechanical Support in Electrical Switchgear
Low-voltage switchgear assemblies contain a range of mechanical and electrical components that must work together as part of a complete system. Alongside busbars, switching devices and electrical connections, these assemblies incorporate frames, covers, mounting brackets and fixing accessories that establish the intended equipment layout.
A switchgear cover holder provides a mechanical interface associated with the positioning or retention of a compatible cover. Depending on the assembly design, cover holders may be used to support a panel, maintain its intended position or form part of the fixing arrangement that secures the cover to the surrounding structure.
The ABB 289987 Cover Holder is identified for this category of application. Its exact geometry, mounting position and associated cover type must be established from the applicable manufacturer documentation. The product description does not independently confirm whether the holder is intended for an internal cover, external cover, compartment cover or another specific panel arrangement.
Correct mechanical installation is important in switchgear construction. Covers must be positioned as specified so that access arrangements, electrical clearances and the intended enclosure configuration are preserved. An incorrectly selected or installed holder may prevent the associated cover from fitting or functioning as designed.
The ABB GT product group includes a variety of switchgear construction components, such as frame profiles, cover plates, internal covers, mounting accessories and support components. These items are typically selected according to the particular switchgear configuration rather than solely by their general product description.
For example, ABB also identifies 289981 and 289917 as cover holder components. These are separate manufacturer references and should not be assumed to be interchangeable with the ABB 289987. The correct choice depends on the applicable assembly drawings, fixing positions and component specifications.
Low-voltage switchgear assemblies may be designed and verified in accordance with BS EN IEC 61439. The performance and protection characteristics of the completed assembly depend on the full system design and correct installation of its components. The ABB 289987 cover holder does not independently establish an ingress protection rating, mechanical impact rating or form of internal separation.
When replacing an existing holder, the surrounding frame, cover and fixing points should be inspected for damage or distortion. The replacement component should be fitted only where the original assembly specifies ABB part 289987, using the appropriate mounting hardware and installation procedure.
For purchasing and maintenance records, the complete order code 7GDS289987R0000 should be retained to distinguish this component from other ABB cover holder variants.

Which ABB switchgear systems are compatible with the 289987 Cover Holder?
The ABB 289987 should be used in switchgear configurations that specifically identify part 289987 or order code 7GDS289987R0000. Compatibility with a particular switchgear series, frame arrangement or cover type must be confirmed against the relevant manufacturer's parts list and assembly drawings.
Does the ABB 289987 include the cover itself?
The product is identified as a Cover Holder, not as a complete cover or enclosure. The associated cover panel and additional fixing components should not be assumed to be included unless confirmed by the manufacturer's supply documentation.
What material is the ABB 289987 Cover Holder made from?
The manufacturer's product description does not establish the exact material, coating or surface finish of the ABB 289987. These details should be confirmed using the relevant ABB technical drawing or product documentation.
