FAQs
AC-1236W is designed to pair with AC-1236B accessories within the Eaton B-Line series. The Type-12-AW-12 console and top assembly are compatible with the B-Line architecture, ensuring modular upgrades and straightforward mounting. When planning a retrofit, verify rack footprint, mounting hole patterns, and any accessory alignment to avoid field modifications and to maintain NEMA 12 integrity.
The NEMA 12 rating indicates enclosure protection against dust, falling dirt, and non-hazardous moisture. This reduces ingress of contaminants that can degrade relays, terminals, and control electronics, thereby improving reliability and reducing maintenance cycles. For installations near machining, grinding, or dusty processes, this rating supports longer service life and stable performance.
Yes. AC-1236W is designed for robust control panel environments common in manufacturing and processing facilities. Its 26.87 in footprint accommodates substantial components, while the white enamel finish adds corrosion resistance. The enclosure is well-suited for layouts requiring a reliable, standardized console with easy accessory integration from the B-Line family.
AC-1236W carries CSA certification and a NEMA 12 protection rating. CSA certification demonstrates compliance with recognized safety standards in North America, while NEMA 12 confirms dust and moisture protection for general industrial environments. Together, these certifications support regulatory alignment and safer, more dependable panel installations.
The CSA/NEMA-rated design minimizes unexpected outages from environment-driven failures, reducing maintenance labor and spare parts consumption. Standardized dimensions and compatibility with AC-1236B accessories shorten installation time, lowering total cost of ownership. Over the lifecycle, users typically see improved uptime, easier upgrades, and predictable procurement when using the Eaton B-Line console ecosystem.
