Its 32" x 32" x 12" footprint and 1 gland plate support medium-to-large control gear, while vertical lugs simplify wall or framework mounting and reduce field modification time. This makes it well-suited for chemical plants, refineries, and other demanding sites where personnel safety and equipment protection are paramount.
The Ex-CELL enclosure complies with NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX standards, aligning with both national electrical codes and international hazardous-location certifications. This multi-standard conformity reduces compliance risk during installation and facilitates global deployments. The combination with IP66 and NEMA 4X further ensures robust protection against dust, water ingress, and corrosive environments in hazardous areas.
Yes. The XLVS13232121 is specified as 32" x 32" x 12" with a single gland plate, designed to house substantial control panels while minimizing field modifications. Its vertical lug configuration supports straightforward mounting, while the stainless steel construction provides long-term durability in challenging environments. This makes it a reliable choice for integrators seeking a ready-to-install enclosure with adequate internal space.
Absolutely. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, the Ex-CELL enclosure offers excellent corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor installations and corrosive environments found in chemical plants, offshore facilities, and coastal sites. Combined with IP66 sealing and NEMA 4X protection, it maintains equipment integrity against dust, water jets, and harsh weather, reducing maintenance needs.
Leverage the vertical lugs for quick, secure mounting and plan cable entry through the single gland plate to minimize field fabrication. Use compatible accessories designed for Ex-CELL enclosures to preserve sealing integrity and avoid aftermarket modifications. Regular inspections should focus on door seals, gland plate effectiveness, and grounding connections to sustain performance in hazardous locations and extend service life.
