FAQs
ARE23 is designed for a 3/4 inch trade size and features a single hub, enabling straightforward conduit entry and routing. When integrating into existing panels, verify conduit alignment with the back box mounting pattern and ensure the enclosure doorway provides adequate clearance for receptacle terminations. The lightweight cast aluminum construction simplifies handling during retrofit installations and reduces overall labor time.
Key specifications include a 20A/30A amperage rating, 3/4" trade size, and one hub back box configuration. These factors determine compatibility with common receptacles and wiring schemes in industrial automation panels. The 4.25 x 4.5 x 3.63 inch footprint supports compact layouts, while the 1.15 lb weight facilitates installation without specialized equipment.
Yes. ARE23 is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, making it appropriate for factory floors, standard assembly lines, and typical processing environments. Its cast aluminum construction adds durability against incidental exposure to dust and moisture, helping maintain long-term performance without requiring special enclosure materials or coatings.
ARE23 uses cast aluminum, which offers good corrosion resistance and structural rigidity. This reduces the likelihood of enclosure deformation or degradation during routine maintenance, contributing to longer service intervals and lower replacement costs. The single hub design also minimizes seal points, supporting easier cleaning and inspection.
By combining a lightweight form factor, standard 3/4 inch conduit compatibility, and a dependable 20A/30A rating, ARE23 accelerates installation and reduces part variety. The result is faster panel builds, fewer field adjustments, and improved uptime, delivering measurable ROI through lower labor costs and fewer extension leads or adapters.
