Amperage rating and through-feed design deliver direct business impact: simplify power distribution wiring and reduce panel depth. The ARD23 supports 20A/30A circuits, enabling clean terminations for a broad range of equipment while the through-feed back box style simplifies pass-through wiring from conduit into the enclosure. This combination reduces wiring complexity, minimizes reworks during panel builds, and speeds commissioning on new or modified controls. Cast aluminum construction provides durability with corrosion resistance, extending service life and lowering maintenance costs in typical factory environments. The enclosure's compact footprint—5.31 in length, 3.69 in height, and 4.25 in width, at roughly 1.1 lb—saves panel real estate and improves install accessibility in tight spaces. Through-feed compatibility aligns with common conduit fittings and Arktite receptacle catalogs, enabling streamlined procurement and faster field installs. Classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, the ARD23 supports reliable operation in standard plant environments while offering robust mounting and a straightforward maintenance profile for OEMs and service teams.
