FAQs
ARE13 installs with a single hub for 1/2" conduit. Mount the enclosure to a flat panel surface, seal any openings to protect against dust, and route wiring through the hub. Verify circuit rating is within 20A/30A and ensure correct clearance for panel door operation to minimize heat buildup and mechanical stress.
ARE13 is ideal for control panels, receptacle back box applications, and general automation equipment in ordinary, non-hazardous locations. Its cast aluminum body and compact 3.63 in x 4.5 in x 4.25 in footprint support installations in space-constrained enclosures and protect wiring terminations in demanding environments.
ARE13 measures 3.63 inches in length, 4.5 inches in height, and 4.25 inches in width, with a weight of approximately 1.2 pounds. It supports a 1/2 inch trade size and 20A/30A amperage rating, making it suitable for compact, reliable enclosure solutions.
ARE13 is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. It is not described for hazardous area use and does not specify IP ratings in the provided data. For hazardous-duty applications, consult the manufacturer’s datasheet or Eaton technical support for alternative enclosures with appropriate ratings.
The cast aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and durability, reducing replacement frequency and maintenance, while its lightweight design simplifies handling and installation. A smaller form factor can lower material handling time and enable faster field deployment in standard assembly lines, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the enclosure’s lifecycle.
