This enclosure uses 12-gauge carbon steel with an oil-resistant gasket and ANSI 61 gray painted finish. It is rated NEMA 12 and certified to UL 508A and CSA C22.2, providing dust and limited-liquid protection along with recognized safety standards for industrial control panels.
NEMA 12 is intended for indoor use in general industrial settings with protection against dust and non-hazardous water exposure. For outdoor or wet/dust-prone locations, consider higher ratings such as NEMA 4X or IP-rated alternatives and appropriate climate conditioning or sealing accessories.
The enclosure carries UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certifications along with a NEMA 12 rating. These certifications confirm electrical safety and suitability for non-hazardous indoor environments, ensuring regulatory compliance and smoother procurement for regulated facilities.
The rugged carbon steel construction with a hinged door and oil-resistant gasket reduces corrosion risk and maintenance frequency. While initial handling is heavy (over 2,100 lb), secure installation minimizes downtime and costly panel replacements, providing a favorable total cost of ownership for long-term control system reliability.
