FAQs
The ARD46 supports a 1-1/4" trade size and through-feed design, making it compatible with Arktite receptacles and standard conduit terminations in non-hazardous locations. Its cast aluminum body provides a sturdy mounting footprint, while the relatively compact dimensions help ensure clean routing in panel assemblies.
Key specs include a 60A amperage rating, 1-1/4" trade size, through-feed back box style, cast aluminum material, and overall dimensions of 7.06 in long, 5.75 in high, and 5.13 in wide with a weight of 3.45 lb. The UPC for procurement is 782274070506, and the enclosure is suited for ordinary/non-hazardous locations.
Based on the provided specifications, ARD46 is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. For hazardous or classified areas, additional enclosure ratings or different enclosures designed for those conditions would be required to meet regulatory and safety standards.
ARD46 provides a rugged, corrosion-resistant cast aluminum body, a through-feed design that simplifies cable routing, and a compact footprint that reduces panel real estate. These features translate to faster commissioning, fewer parts, and lower maintenance needs in typical manufacturing and control-panel applications.
The combination of a durable aluminum enclosure, through-feed capability, and standard 1-1/4" terminations reduces the number of required enclosures and fittings, accelerating installation and minimizing downtime. The enclosure’s corrosion resistance also lowers maintenance intervals, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
