Type 3/3R enclosure construction provides weather-resistant protection, reducing maintenance and downtime in outdoor or damp indoor spaces. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and improved safety for critical control panels in process lines and manufacturing cells. The 14 gauge carbon steel shell delivers long-term rigidity while the ANSI 61 gray painted finish minimizes corrosion risk and simplifies on-site color-coding. Large 48 in H x 36 in W x 16 in D dimensions accommodate standard cabinets, terminal blocks, and cable runs, with a total weight of 159.2 lb for secure wall mounting and stable service life. External mounting feet simplify retrofits and new installs, while a hinged cover enables quick access during routine maintenance without compromising security. Padlock provisions add a security layer without complicating daily operations, supporting compliant and efficient workforce practices. Rain hood protection and a robust piano hinge with a stainless steel pin extend service life in challenging environments, ensuring reliable operation across shifts and weather conditions. Overall compatibility with Eaton B-Line family footprints reduces procurement complexity and streamlines multi-site deployments for electrical infrastructure projects.
