FAQs
ABB PB1603 is designed for ArTu K modular structures and ships as a kit or pre-assembled unit. Installation benefits include reduced field wiring, straightforward mounting within ArTu K frames, and clear manuals (Instruction handbook - ArTu K Main Distribution Boards). For compatibility, verify reference depths (300–1000 mm), reference heights (1400–2200 mm), and reference widths (400–1600 mm) to fit your enclosure footprint.
PB1603 provides a 1600 A current rating with a fault current withstand of 65 kA, enabling reliable feeder distribution for high-demand systems. The busbar design (flat copper) and the included busbar holders support efficient current flow and mitigates voltage drop across typical main distribution configurations in industrial panels.
Yes. PB1603 is purpose-built for ArTu K modular structures and main distribution board applications. Its compact width (140 mm), depth (250 mm), and height options (up to 1400–2200 mm) align with tight factory layouts, while the pre-assembled mounting reduces install time and risk, making it ideal for production lines and system upgrades.
PB1603 carries CE conformity with IEC 61439 as documented in the Declaration of Conformity (1STC860037-ArTu K IEC61439). It also aligns with ETIM 8/9 EC001522 Busbar and eClass V11.1 27370303, providing robust, industry-standard classifications that support procurement and cross-system data integration.
Pre-assembled mounting and copper busbars reduce commissioning time and field wiring errors, delivering faster time-to-value and lower labor costs. The board’s documented environmental and compliance data (REACH, WEEE category 5, CE) support smoother asset management and regulatory audits, contributing to predictable maintenance costs and return on investment in industrial environments.
