FAQs
Follow standard explosion-protected enclosure mounting procedures. Use the left-side hinges as specified, secure the unit with the included mounting plate kit, and install appropriate gland/conduit fittings to maintain IP66 sealing. Ensure terminations stay within the interior space to prevent overheating, and verify enclosure orientation matches the wiring layout for safe access.
Yes. The EJB121208 MP S598 includes a mounting plate kit and hinges mounted on the left side, designed for straightforward field installation. This configuration supports flexible mounting, easier wiring access, and maintenance, while preserving IP66 integrity and hazardous-location ratings during service events.
The enclosure carries NEC/CEC compliance, IP66 ingress protection, and hazardous-location ratings for Class I, Zone 1/2 and Class II/III divisions, plus NEMA ratings 3, 3R, 4, 7, 9. UL certification is documented for explosion-protected enclosures, supporting compliance during audits and supplier qualification.
Ideal for chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and other harsh industrial settings requiring explosion-protected enclosures. Its copper-free aluminum construction, IP66 sealing, left-side hinges, and mounting kit are well-suited to outdoor, corrosive, and dust-laden environments where reliable wiring protection is essential.
The combination of corrosion-resistant copper-free aluminum and robust sealing reduces corrosion-related maintenance, lowering lifecycle costs. UL-certified safety and documented specifications streamline audits and procurement. While weight is substantial, the included mounting hardware and design simplify installation, enabling longer service intervals and faster, safer maintenance of critical electrical networks.
