Durable copper-free aluminum enclosure delivers excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining manageable weight, reducing long-term maintenance costs and downtime in chemical plants and offshore environments. This translates to higher up-time for critical equipment and a lower total cost of ownership as exposure to harsh elements is minimized. The strong IP66/NEMA-rated shell protects sensitive wiring from dust, water, and impacts, ensuring compliance with safety standards and safeguarding personnel. With a 16" x 16" x 8" footprint and a 113 lb weight, there is ample interior space for wiring and components, while leaving room for future expansion and mounting plate integration. The left-side hinges offer quick access to the interior, accelerating install and service while minimizing disruption to adjacent equipment. The included mounting plate kit simplifies retrofits and panel integration, enabling faster project turnover. This enclosure is well-suited for control panels in oil & gas, chemical processing, mining, and power distribution applications, where reliability and regulatory adherence are non-negotiable. Industry specialists appreciate the combination of robust protection, easy maintenance access, and scalable mounting options for modern automation architectures.
