ENK10673 Ex-Cell Operating Instructions
316L stainless steel construction delivers superior corrosion resistance and extended service life in aggressive environments. This reduces maintenance frequency and replacement costs, improving plant uptime. The enclosure is well suited for chemical plants, offshore platforms, and other facilities where salt spray and corrosive vapors are present. Size and gland configuration enable flexible internal wiring and straightforward retrofits. With dimensions of 406 x 508 x 254 mm, a 564 mm horizontal fixing center and 267 mm vertical fixing center, plus three gland plates, installers gain mounting versatility and simplified sealing. The horizontal lugs design supports stable mounting for MCCs, power distribution blocks, and control panels. IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings safeguard against dust, water ingress, and corrosion, while IECEx/ATEX area classifications enable safe operation in explosive atmospheres. This reduces project risk and accelerates approvals. Rated up to 690 Vac/Vdc and 400 A, the enclosure supports robust power distribution and motor control circuits, with flexible cable entries from three gland plates and easy field sealing. The rugged build lowers maintenance cost and downtime, while standardized fixing centers speed installation and commissioning. Engineers also appreciate documented installation instructions and compatibility with common enclosure accessories, which simplify upgrades and future expansions.
