ABB TEDFP1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) I have an Eaton panel with an empty breaker space, not an ABB one. Is this the right blank?
No. The DFP16701 is made for ABB A-Series lighting panelboards. For an Eaton panel in the GB, GHB or GHBS family, the Eaton single pole panel mount filler plate is the matching part. Panel blanks are not cross-brand items, the cutout and retention are specific to the deadfront they were made for.
2) Can an Eaton filler plate be used in an ABB A-Series lighting panelboard?
They are not interchangeable. The ABB DFP16701 filler plate (MPN TEDFP1) is built for the ABB A-Series lighting panelboard platform and closes unused enclosure openings on that specific panel interior. The Eaton 5155C62H01 is a single pole panel mount filler plate for Eaton GB, GHB and GHBS breaker panels, so it is cut to the Eaton pole opening rather than the A-Series opening. Match the filler to the panel brand and series stamped on the panel label.
3) How do I order the ABB A-Series filler plate, and how many come in a pack?
Order by model TEDFP1, referenced as DFP16701 in A-Series documentation and bills of material. It ships 1 EA, a single plate per unit, so if you are closing several spaces in a panel you order one per opening.
4) Do I need to keep blanks in unused panel openings, or can I leave them open?
Leave them filled. An open space in the deadfront exposes energized parts inside the enclosure and defeats the panel's finished, code-conscious appearance. The A-Series filler plate restores enclosure integrity and gives physical protection to the panel internals, which is why maintenance teams stock them as a standard item.
5) What is the difference between a single pole filler plate and the ABB A-Series filler plate?
The Eaton 5155C62H01 is described as a single pole panel mount filler plate, meaning it is sized to blank off one breaker pole space in a GB, GHB or GHBS panel. The ABB DFP16701 is specified as a filler plate for A-Series lighting panelboards, closing unused enclosure openings to keep the panel front finished and protect the panel internals. If you are blanking individual pole spaces in an Eaton panel, the single pole part is the format you want; for an installed ABB A-Series lighting panelboard, use the A-Series part.
6) I am standardizing blank-off parts across a facility with mixed panel brands. What do I stock?
Filler plates are panel-specific, so a single part number will not cover a mixed fleet. For ABB A-Series lighting panelboards, stock the DFP16701 filler plate, supplied 1 EA per unit, which makes it easy to keep a small quantity on the shelf for field service. For Eaton GB, GHB and GHBS panels, the equivalent blank is the Eaton 5155C62H01 single pole panel mount filler plate. Inventory both lines against the panel types actually installed in the building rather than looking for one universal blank.
7) Is the DFP16701 a genuine ABB part or an aftermarket blank?
Genuine. It is Auburn-manufactured through the ABB parts channel for A-Series lighting panelboard equipment, which is what keeps fit and function matched to the original hardware on legacy installations still in service.
8) Where do I find the spec sheet for the ABB A-Series filler plate?
ABB publishes a PDF spec sheet for the part, linked in the product details under PDF: Spec Sheet. Cross-reference it against your existing A-Series panelboard documentation using the DFP16701 model reference when you are confirming the part against a bill of material.
