Eaton AC-1248B Console Enclosures and Accessories - NEMA 12
Part Number: AC-1248B
Quick Summary
AC-1248B console enclosure protects electrical gear while enabling organized control-room installations. In practice, engineers face crowded panels, corrosion risk, and non-compliant enclosures that slow installs. UL 508A, CSA C22.2, and NEMA 12 ratings ensure electrical safety, regulatory compliance, and reliability in industrial environments. This solution integrates seamlessly with the Eaton B-Line series, offering robust carbon steel construction and a hinged cover for secure access, while supporting ground mounting and long-term lifecycle cost savings. Its 36 by 36 by 24 inch footprint optimizes panel density in compact electrical rooms. Designed for uptime, the enclosure's oil-resistant gasket and durable ANSI 61 gray finish resist everyday factory exposure.

FAQs
AC-1248B is designed for ground mounting, providing a stable base for heavy control panels in indoor facilities. Note that the unit features no internal mounting provisions for equipment and cables; external mounting accessories or base frames are often used to anchor components. This setup minimizes vibration, improves serviceability, and supports long-term reliability on the shop floor.
AC-1248B carries UL 508A and CSA C22.2 listings with a NEMA 12 rating. UL 508A confirms electrical safety for industrial control panels, CSA C22.2 ensures compliance with Canadian standards, and NEMA 12 signifies protection against dust, light oil, and water ingress in indoor environments. Together they support regulatory compliance and safer operation of indoor control enclosures.
AC-1248B is designed for indoor use with a NEMA 12 protection level. It features a painted ANSI 61 gray finish and an oil-resistant gasket, which improves resistance to oil exposure. However, it is not rated for outdoor weather exposure or harsh corrosive environments without additional protective measures or enclosure upgrades.
The AC-1248B integrates with the broader Eaton B-Line console enclosures and accessories ecosystem, including hinged covers, key-locking provisions, and 3-pt latching handles with plated screws for secure access. For enhanced installation, pair with compatible base frames or mounting hardware designed for ground-mount configurations and system-wide panel integration.
The enclosure's 14 gauge carbon steel construction, oil-resistant gasket, and robust hinge/lock system deliver durable protection and long service life, reducing unscheduled maintenance and panel damage. UL/CSA certifications streamline compliance audits, while a stable ground-mount design lowers installation time and lifecycle costs by minimizing panel damage and downtime in busy production environments.
