Striebel & John Complete Surface-Mounted Meter and Distribution Cabinet BKE-I BA27BBA27 1Z1R1V5A2 (2CPX054209R9999)

For installations where a separate meter cabinet and distribution board would consume extra wall space and labour, this Striebel & John unit fuses both functions into one pre-wired, IP44-rated steel enclosure. The BKE-I meter field accepts a standard eHZ meter, while five 12-TE distribution rows give you 60 module units for breakers, RCDs, and other DIN rail devices. The main busbar and PE/N terminals are already connected, so the on-site work shrinks to mounting the cabinet, landing the supply and load cables, and clipping in the protective devices.

Highlights

• Pre-wired main busbar and PE/N terminals reduce installation time and potential wiring errors
• One BKE-I meter field for eHZ meters, compliant with DIN VDE 0603-1 and DIN 43870-1
• Five distribution rows, each with 12 TE, for a total of 60 module units
• Robust steel sheet construction with traffic white RAL 9016 powder coating
• IP44 protection against splashing water and solid foreign objects
• Steel door with secure closure for long-term reliability in utility areas

In daily use

The cabinet is designed for surface mounting in basements, utility rooms, or technical areas of residential and commercial buildings. The 63 A rated current and 230/400 V AC voltage suit typical single- and three-phase supplies. The meter field is positioned for easy reading and replacement of the eHZ meter, while the distribution rows offer clear access for wiring and future expansion. Because the busbar and PE/N terminals are pre-wired, you avoid the tedious and error-prone task of linking rows on site.
