FAQs
For safe, compliant installation, plan gland entry through the three gland plates, verify seals and gaskets are properly seated, and mount using the horizontal lugs with appropriate anti-vibration hardware. Ensure the enclosure is grounded and that cable entries are equipped with compatible strain relief to maintain IP66 integrity in demanding environments.
Yes. The XLHS18080303 carries NEC/CEC, IEC, IECEx, and ATEX certifications for hazardous locations, including Class I, Zone 1/2 and Class II, Division 2 ratings. This supports global deployment and reduces the need for multiple enclosures to meet local regulatory requirements.
The enclosure is made from 316L stainless steel, which delivers superior corrosion resistance in chemical processing, washdown, and offshore settings. This material choice extends service life, minimizes maintenance, and supports longer intervals between inspections while maintaining IP66/NEMA 4X protection.
Industries with hazardous locations and harsh environments benefit most, including oil and gas, chemical processing, water and wastewater, mining, and offshore facilities. The combination of IP66/NEMA 4X protection, hazardous-location certifications, and robust stainless steel construction provides reliable protection for critical electrical equipment.
The 800x800x300 mm size offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained panels, while three gland plates provide flexible, pre-planned entry points. This configuration simplifies wiring during initial install and future expansions, reduces custom fabrication, and aids in organizing cables for maintainability in hazardous-zone installations.
