Quick Summary
XLHS15040250 Ex-CELL enclosure provides rugged containment for electrical control gear in hazardous locations. Engineers encounter corrosion, ingress, and regulatory complexity that escalate maintenance costs and downtime. This enclosure carries IECEx/ATEX certification, IP66 ingress protection, and NEMA 4X suitability, ensuring safety and durability across harsh environments. By combining 316L stainless steel with a compact 508 x 406 x 254 mm footprint, it supports scalable cabinet installs while reducing service cycles. Immediate operational gains come from predictable thermal performance and easy cleanability in washdown environments. With horizontal lugs and zero gland plates, installation flexibility speeds up panel builds and reduces field modification needs.

ENK10673 Ex-Cell Operating Instructions
316L stainless steel construction delivers exceptional corrosion resistance, extending enclosure life in chemical, marine, and wastewater settings. This translates to lower replacement costs and reduced maintenance intervals for critical control panels in hazardous locations. The IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings provide robust ingress protection against dust, water, and washdowns, enabling reliable operation in outdoor or harsh indoor environments and minimizing unplanned downtime. IECEx/ATEX certifications ensure compliance for equipment used in hazardous areas, simplifying project approvals and accelerating timelines for oil & gas, chemical processing, and offshore facilities. The Ex-CELL design with 508 x 406 x 254 mm dimensions, 0 gland plates, and horizontal lugs offers installation flexibility, easier cable routing, and faster cabinet assembly, reducing field modification and labor costs. The enclosure’s cleanability and stainless surface support hygienic environments where regulatory and sanitation standards matter, delivering long-term cost savings and improved total cost of ownership. Compatibility with 690 Vac/Vdc and lack of gland plates means engineers can plan glands separately to match exact cable needs without compromising enclosure integrity. This combination of rugged protection and streamlined installation is particularly valuable for scalable projects and retrofit scenarios in hazardous locations.

FAQs
XLHS15040250 Ex-CELL enclosures use horizontal lugs and a 508 x 406 x 254 mm footprint, offering straightforward mounting alongside existing cabinets. The absence of gland plates means plan glands separately to match cable ingress; this enables tailor-made entry solutions while preserving enclosure integrity. In retrofit scenarios, verify gland entry positions and ensure competing components are compatible with 690 Vac/Vdc systems.
The enclosure is certified for IECEx/ATEX, providing formal compliance for hazardous-area installations. Constructed from 316L stainless steel, it resists corrosion in harsh chemical and offshore settings, while IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings ensure robust protection against dust, water, and washdowns. These certifications streamline regulatory approvals and reduce project risk in petrochemical and marine applications.
Yes, the Ex-CELL enclosure supports high-voltage applications up to 690 Vac/Vdc, aligning with typical industrial drives and control systems. However, gland plates are not included, so wiring entries and glands must be planned and installed separately to meet local codes and the enclosure’s ingress protection requirements. Confirm cable sizes and gland types before final installation.
316L stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, enabling longer service life in washdown, chemical, and marine environments. It reduces staining and pitting risk, simplifies cleaning, and maintains enclosure aesthetics, which supports ongoing regulatory inspections and hygienic process requirements in relevant industries.
The combination of corrosion resistance, long service life, and robust ingress protection reduces maintenance frequency and unplanned downtime. While initial costs are higher than painted steel options, lifecycle cost savings from fewer replacements, lower housekeeping, and faster installation (due to horizontal lugs and tailored gland planning) typically yield a favorable return on investment for chemical, oil & gas, and offshore facilities.
