316L stainless steel construction delivers exceptional corrosion resistance in washdown and chemical environments. This translates to a longer service life and reduced maintenance costs for critical enclosures exposed to moisture, salts, and aggressive vapors. In practice, the Ex-CELL XLHS13030251 is well suited for petrochemical, offshore, mining, and food-processing facilities where durability and cleanability matter and downtime is costly. IP66 and NEMA 4X provide robust ingress protection against dust, water, and chemical splashes. Business impact: lower risk of internal damage, fewer unplanned outages, and easier compliance with environmental standards and site safety rules. Application: outdoor, washdown, and high-dust areas across oil & gas, water treatment, and utilities where reliable enclosure integrity is essential. 305 x 305 mm footprint with a single gland plate and horizontal lugs delivers straightforward installation and tidy cable management. Business impact: faster commissioning, reduced field labor costs, easier retrofit in existing control panels, and simplified spare-part planning. Application: compact control housings in multi-cabinet plants and machinery rooms where space constraints and wiring density are critical. IECEx/ATEX, NEC/CEC approvals plus IP66/NEMA 4X protection support global compliance and site-by-site safety credentials. Business impact: streamlined procurement, smoother cross-border deployments, and lower risk of certification delays during audits. Application: hazardous-location installations in chemical processing, oil and gas, mining, and offshore platforms. Up to 690 Vac/Vdc and 400 A capacity enables integration of larger drives, PLCs, and protective devices without enclosure changes. Business impact: future-proof architecture, fewer enclosure upgrades, and improved scalability across plant networks. Application: motor-control centers, drive cabinets, and protection barriers in harsh environments where reliability is mission critical. The design supports quick field wiring and vibration tolerance, reducing commissioning time.

FAQs

Begin with the enclosure mounting pattern, noting vertical fixing centers of 361 mm and 203 mm as referenced for installation planning. Use the horizontal lugs to secure the unit to a solid frame, then prepare the single gland plate for cable entry. Seal interfaces to maintain IP66/NEMA 4X protection, and route wiring to the internal terminals with proper strain relief. Verify clearance for maintenance access and gasket integrity during commissioning.
Key performance specs include a 400 A rating and 690 Vac/Vdc capability, enabling larger drives or controllers within a single enclosure. The IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings protect against dust, water, and corrosive exposure. The 316L stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in aggressive environments. These features support reliable operation in Class I, Zone 1/2 and Class II, Division 2 locations.
Best-fit industries include petrochemical, oil & gas, offshore platforms, mining, water treatment, and food/ beverage processing where harsh environments and strict safety standards apply. Typical use cases involve housing motor controllers, PLCs, and protective barriers in hazardous zones. The enclosure supports compact installations where space, cable management, and maintenance downtime directly affect total cost of ownership.
The Ex-CELL XLHS13030251 carries IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC regulatory coverage, along with NEMA 4X and IP66 protection. These certifications support global deployments in hazardous locations, reduce compliance risk during audits, and facilitate cross-border procurement. The enclosure is suitable for hazardous/classified locations and meets safety class requirements for varied regional markets.
Return on investment stems from longer service life due to 316L stainless steel, lower maintenance needs, and fewer enclosure upgrades when upgrading controls. The IP66/NEMA 4X protection reduces ingress-related downtime, while the single gland plate and horizontal lugs streamline installation. Over the equipment lifecycle, expect lower spare-part turnover, reduced field labor, and faster commissioning in new or expanding facilities.
