Copper-free aluminum construction delivers long-term corrosion resistance and reduced weight, improving handling and reducing transport costs on rugged job sites. This translates to lower total cost of ownership while preserving enclosure integrity in corrosive atmospheres, offshore platforms, and chemical plants. The 18" x 18" x 10" enclosure size with a square cover provides ample internal space for control panels and field-witted wiring, enabling easier organization and future expansion with minimal cabinet footprint. A 10-15/16 in depth strikes a balance between internal capacity and fit in tight spaces, supporting compact plant layouts and easier retrofits. Tap-in mounting feet speed assembly, reduce installation time and tool requirements, while delivering repeatable, vibration-resistant mounting for long-term reliability. Compatibility with Crouse-Hinds mounting systems and CAD resources ensures engineers can model, simulate, and validate layouts before field deployment. The ECP181810 also aligns with NEC/CEC standards and hazardous-location classifications, delivering a compliant platform that minimizes rework and project risk, while maintaining a durable enclosure that supports diverse automation applications in process, power, and control domains.
