The 36246 TCS enclosure uses rugged carbon steel with 14 gauge walls, delivering durable protection against impacts and incidental contact in harsh industrial environments, which reduces replacement costs and maintenance frequency. This means plant managers can operate longer between service events while maintaining compliance with NEMA 1 requirements. Its 36 in height by 24 in width by 6 in depth footprint optimizes cabinet real estate in constrained spaces, enabling straightforward integration with standard control panels and electrical distribution hardware for quick wiring and easier field retrofit. The hinged cover with a continuous piano hinge and trimmed cover enhances long-term reliability and ease of access during inspection, while the tumbler and key locking provide security against tampering and unauthorized entry, helping safeguard critical assets. Through-hole mounting and surface installation streamline commissioning and retrofit projects, minimizing downtime and labor costs. Compatibility with the Eaton B-Line series supports scalable infrastructure and standardized installation practices across facilities.

FAQs
To install the 36246 TCS, position the cabinet for surface mounting, align thru holes with wall anchors or mounting studs, and secure with appropriate fasteners. Ensure the mounting surface can support the 53.9 lb weight and verify that door clearance allows full operation of the hinged cover. Use the key-locking mechanism only after wiring is complete to prevent tampering during installation.
The enclosure measures 36 inches in height, 24 inches in width, and 6 inches in depth, with an approximate weight of 53.9 pounds. It uses 14 gauge carbon steel with an ANSI 61 gray painted finish, providing sturdy protection for indoor electrical applications.
Yes. The enclosure carries a NEMA 1 rating and UL 50/CSA C22.2-related certifications, which address indoor dry environments and basic protection against dust and accidental contact. For outdoor or more severe conditions, you would need a higher protection rating such as NEMA 3R or IP-rated enclosures.
The 36246 TCS carries UL 50, CSA C22.2 certification, and a NEMA rating of 1, indicating suitability for indoor dry environments and compliance with recognized standards for electrical enclosures.
The 36246 TCS offers durable carbon steel construction with a continuous piano hinge and trim cover for long service life and easier inspection access. Key locking reduces tampering risk, while thru-hole mounting and surface installation speed up commissioning and future upgrades, lowering maintenance downtime and extending the life of mounted electrical components.
