It aligns with standard mounting methods and pre-drilled holes for straightforward integration into existing panel layouts, reducing field fabrication and speeding up installation.
This enclosure carries UL 50 and CSA C22.2 certifications and a NEMA 1 rating, ensuring compliance for indoor electrical installations. These standards help simplify approvals, document safe operation, and minimize risk during audits while providing confidence in long-term performance.
Yes, the enclosure features thru holes for wiring access, enabling organized conductors and tidy terminations. There are no knockouts, which means openings must be planned with the existing entry points or alternative entry methods. This configuration supports controlled wiring in clean indoor environments and reduces the chance of unauthorized openings.
Plan for a compact footprint with surface mounting and accessible screws for quick lid removal. The 6.8 lb weight facilitates handling, while the 16 gauge galvanized steel walls provide durability without excessive bulk. Consider nearby wiring routes, available surface area, and the need for secure mounting using the included through-holes and mounting holes.
The combination of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel, NEMA 1 protection, and durable UL/CSA certifications reduces replacement frequency and service interruptions. Standardized parts streamline procurement and technician training, delivering lower lifecycle costs and faster project completion for indoor electrical distributions.
