Abb TMPBB16RAR Meter Mod Module 1600A 1-phase 100kaic

Product Description

The ABB TMPBB16RAR is a single-phase meter modification module rated at 1600 amps with a 100kAIC interrupt capacity. It mounts in a bottom-feed configuration and incorporates arc reduction technology to limit incident energy during fault events. This type of module installs within a metering compartment to extend or adapt the metering section of a switchboard or meter stack assembly. Electricians and electrical contractors working on commercial or industrial distribution equipment are the primary installers. The arc reduction feature supports compliance with arc flash safety requirements by reducing clearing time during high-current fault conditions.

This module is suited for single-phase metering applications requiring high-ampacity service entrance capacity. The 1600-amp rating and 100kAIC short-circuit current rating make it appropriate for demanding commercial distribution environments. The bottom-feed orientation aligns with switchboard and meter center configurations where conductors enter from below. Installation of this component is typically part of a metering upgrade, service expansion, or equipment modification project on existing switchboard infrastructure.

Key Features

• 1600-amp continuous current rating for high-capacity service entrance applications
• 100kAIC short-circuit current rating for robust fault protection
• Bottom-feed conductor entry to match standard switchboard metering section layouts
• Integrated arc reduction functionality to limit arc flash incident energy during fault events
• Single-phase configuration for compatible metering compartment installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style meter modification module for single-phase switchboard and meter center assemblies requiring a bottom-feed, high-ampacity metering section with arc reduction capability.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for service entrance and metering equipment. The utility service and all upstream overcurrent devices must be de-energized and locked out per NFPA 70E arc flash and lockout/tagout procedures before beginning work. Verify that the metering compartment and switchboard are rated to accept this module before installation. Do not energize the assembly until all connections are inspected and covers are secured.
