FAQs
The XLVS12420081 Ex-CELL enclosure is engineered for hazardous and classified locations, with IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings. It fits industrial control panels in chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, mining operations, and offshore environments, offering robust ingress protection and long-term reliability.
316L stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance frequency and component degradation in aggressive atmospheres. This leads to lower replacement costs, less downtime, and extended service intervals, particularly in coastal, chemical, and washdown-heavy facilities.
Yes. The Ex-CELL enclosure carries IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC certifications, enabling compliant installations across multiple regions. This makes global procurement simpler and supports risk-managed deployments in industries requiring rigorous electrical safety certifications.
Key features include a single gland plate for cable entry, vertical lugs for easy mounting, and comprehensive installation documentation. These design choices reduce wiring complexity, speed up commissioning, and minimize field errors in challenging environments.
A high-return ROI comes from reduced maintenance labor due to corrosion resistance, lower downtime thanks to robust ingress protection, and faster project timelines due to standardized Ex-CELL solutions and accessible installation guides.
