FAQs

For hazardous locations, verify IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC certifications are appropriate for the site. The Ex-CELL enclosure uses 316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance and IP66/NEMA 4X protection to withstand dust, water ingress, and washdowns. Plan gland plate usage for cable routing and ensure horizontal lugs align with mounting surfaces. The 800x800x300 mm footprint supports a compact yet accessible wiring cavity, enabling safe routine maintenance without compromising entry clearances.
Yes. The Ex-CELL enclosure carries IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings, confirming protection against dust ingress and powerful washdown conditions. This combination makes it suitable for outdoor installations, coastal facilities, and chemical processing plants where high humidity, salt spray, and cleaning cycles are common. The stainless steel construction further reinforces long-term durability under these demanding conditions.
The enclosure size is 800 x 800 x 300 mm with 2 gland plates and horizontal lugs for mounting. The specification supports straightforward surface or frame mounting and simplifies space planning in control rooms or hazardous-area cabinets. For retrofits, confirm the existing footprint and ensure compatible gland entries and wiring clearances to minimize replacement work and downtime.
This model carries IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC certifications, with NEMA 4X and IP66 ratings. These certifications matter because they certify suitability for hazardous/classified locations and harsh environments, enabling compliant installations in Zone 1, Class I, Division 2, and related categories. Global compliance reduces permitting risk and supports cross-border project deployments in chemical, oil & gas, and mining sectors.
ROI is driven by reduced maintenance, longer component life, and fewer outages due to superior corrosion resistance and ingress protection. The 316L stainless steel build plus robust IP66/NEMA 4X ratings minimizes corrosion-related failures, while the modular gland plate and lug design speeds installation and future upgrades. In hazardous locations, compliant enclosure design also lowers risk-related costs and regulatory delays, delivering faster project timelines and lower total cost of ownership.
