FAQs
The 1284 TCS is designed for surface mounting with thru holes, enabling fast, aligned installation and secure anchoring to walls or frames. This reduces field labor and misalignment risks, helping installers achieve repeatable results and faster commissioning in new builds or retrofits.
This enclosure carries UL 50, CSA C22.2, and NEMA ratings, with a NEMA 1 enclosure rating suitable for indoor use. These certifications ensure the cabinet meets recognized safety and performance standards, aiding in regulatory compliance, insurance requirements, and end-user acceptance for industrial panel builds.
The 1284 TCS is a NEMA 1 rated cabinet, principally suited for indoor or semi-protected environments. For outdoor or harsher conditions, consider enclosures with higher NEMA/IP ratings or additional environmental protection measures, while still leveraging the robust carbon steel construction.
Locking provisions include key locking with a hinged closure, plus a trimmed cover and continuous piano hinge to deter tampering while allowing straightforward access for maintenance. These features balance security with ease of service in daily operations.
The combination of carbon steel chassis, durable ANSI 61 gray paint, and UL/CSA/NEMA certifications reduces maintenance and repaint cycles while delivering reliable protection for wiring and components. This translates to lower total cost of ownership through longer intervals between replacements and faster installation in panel upgrade projects.
