ABB RLP Series Panelboard Front Trim Cover
The ABB RLP Flush-Mount Panelboard Front Trim is a flush-style front/trim cover designed to complete a panelboard or enclosure installation with a clean, finished appearance. As part of ABB's RLP series, this front piece is built for flush-mount applications where the enclosure sits recessed into a wall, giving electrical rooms and commercial spaces a streamlined, professional look once installation is complete. It ships as a single unit (1 EA) and is intended to pair with the corresponding RLP enclosure and interior components for a complete panelboard assembly.

ABB AF55FD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the ABB RLP front trim actually include, and do I still need a door and interior?
What you get is the front trim piece itself, shipped one per carton. It covers the panelboard enclosure and conceals the wiring and internal components behind a finished face. The box, the interior with the bus and breaker mounting, and the breakers are all separate items in the RLP family and have to be ordered alongside it to build a complete assembly.
2) Will an ABB RLP trim fit a panelboard from another series or another brand?
No. The RLP front trim is built to fit ABB RLP series panelboard enclosures. Trims are sized to a specific box height, width and mounting pattern, so a trim from one series will not land correctly on another manufacturer's can. If you are trimming out a Square D I-Line panel, for example, you need an I-Line front such as the HCJ surface mount door-in-door trim, not an ABB RLP piece.
3) What is the difference between the ABB RLP AF55FD trim and the AF55SDU?
Both are ABB RLP series panelboard front trim covers, and the difference is the mounting style. The AF55FD is the flush type, built for enclosures recessed into a finished wall so the trim sits flat against the wall surface. The AF55SDU is the surface type, for enclosures mounted on the face of the wall where the trim has to wrap the projecting box. Match the trim to how the RLP enclosure was set: a flush trim will not close out a surface-mounted box, and vice versa. Each ships 1 EA.
4) Can I use a Square D I-Line trim front in place of an ABB RLP trim cover?
No. The Square D HC3291TSHR is an I-Line series trim front, and the ABB AF55FD and AF55SDU are RLP series trims. Panelboard trims are dimensioned and drilled to the specific enclosure box they close out, so a trim from one manufacturer's series will not land on another's enclosure. Order the trim that matches the series and box already in the wall - RLP trim for an ABB RLP enclosure, I-Line trim for a Square D I-Line panelboard.
5) I need a surface-mount panelboard trim with a door-in-door front - what are my options?
The Square D HC3291TSHR is a surface mount I-Line trim front with a door-in-door construction, which gives you an inner door over the breaker openings behind the outer trim door. The ABB RLP surface trim, AF55SDU, is a surface-type front trim for RLP enclosures. Which one you order is decided by the panelboard already installed - the I-Line trim goes on a Square D I-Line panelboard, the AF55SDU on an ABB RLP enclosure.
6) My ABB panelboard is mounted on the wall surface, not recessed - is the AF55FD flush trim still usable?
No, use the AF55SDU surface trim instead. The AF55FD is the flush version of the ABB RLP front trim, engineered to sit flush with a finished wall where the enclosure is recessed into it. A surface-mounted enclosure projects off the wall and needs the surface-type trim to cover the box edges. Confirm the mounting condition of the RLP enclosure before ordering, since the two trims are not interchangeable on the same opening.
7) Can I get Buy American Act or ARRA documentation for the ABB RLP trim?
Compliance status for the Buy American Act and ARRA on the RLP front trim is confirmed by ABB directly for the specific job. Same goes for country of origin. If your project has domestic-content language in the spec, get that letter from the manufacturer before the submittal goes in.
8) Where is this ABB panelboard trim typically used?
Commercial and industrial panelboard installations, electrical and switchgear room finish-out, and flush-mount enclosure assemblies. It is the piece that turns an open can full of breakers into a finished wall surface, which is why property managers and facility crews order it for both new construction and swap-outs.
9) How many trims come in one order of the ABB RLP front?
One. The RLP front trim is packaged 1 EA, so an order quantity of one covers a single panelboard. If you are trimming out a bank of panels in an electrical room, order one per enclosure.
