ENK10673 Ex-Cell Operating Instructions
316L stainless steel construction delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and long service life. This reduces maintenance costs and replacement cycles for critical equipment in harsh environments. The Ex-CELL enclosure is well suited for chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and offshore platforms where splash zones, humidity, and aggressive vapors are common, ensuring reliable cabinet protection for control gear and drives. 800 x 800 x 203 mm size with 400 A capability and fixing centers of 856 mm horizontal and 500 mm vertical streamlines integration. The geometry supports seamless mounting with standard frames and busbars, minimizing field machining and panel realignment when upgrading automation systems in process lines and heavy industry. IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings provide robust ingress protection, safeguarding against water jets, dust, and chemical exposure. Coupled with IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC certifications, the enclosure is ready for hazardous locations, including Class I Division 2 and Zone 1, enabling safe equipment enclosure in refineries, chemical plants, and offshore installations. Gland plates and horizontal lugs offer wiring flexibility. With three gland plates and a horizontal lug configuration, installers can route cables neatly and adjust gland entries during commissioning, reducing wiring time and improving serviceability in legacy panels or expanding automation cabinets. 690 Vac/Vdc ratings accommodate diverse drive and control architectures, while 316L stainless steel construction ensures durability across temperature and chemical exposure. Availability of installation instructions and certification documents accelerates approvals and start-up, delivering predictable project timelines and lower total cost of ownership for hazardous-location electrics.
