The AC-1424B combines rugged carbon steel construction with a protective 14 gauge wall and a durable painted finish to create a weather- and dust-resistant housing that extends enclosure life and reduces replacement frequency, delivering measurable uptime improvements in harsh factory environments. The NEMA 12 rating provides reliable dust and oil protection, supporting continuous operation in automated lines and process equipment without compromising safety or performance. A hinged cover with a 3-point latching handle and key locking enhances security while enabling quick access during maintenance, which translates to faster service windows and lower labor costs. Ground mounting simplifies installation in spaces where internal mounting provisions are impractical, while compatibility with Eaton’s B-Line accessories ensures a modular, scalable control room or shop-floor layout. The oil-resistant gasket maintains integrity in environments with lubricants or coolants, reducing seal failures and warranty concerns. Real-world installations across manufacturing floors demonstrate improved organization, reduced cable exposure, and easier compliance with plant safety protocols. This enclosure is designed to support IT and control cabinet integration, enabling tidy cable management and reliable operation in automation systems.

FAQs
AC-1424B uses ground mounting as its primary installation method and does not include internal mounting provisions. To install, anchor the enclosure to a concrete or elevated floor surface per your plant’s seismic and mechanical codes, then attach the enclosure via corrosion-resistant hardware. This approach accommodates tight shop floor layouts while preserving access to the hinged cover for routine maintenance.
AC-1424B is rated UL 508A and CSA C22.2 with a NEMA 12 enclosure rating. These certifications ensure electrical safety, compliance with industry standards, and protection against dust and oil ingress in indoor environments. For systems handling control panels, drives, and automation cabinets, these specs support safer operation and easier audits.
Yes. The 50 in by 36 in by 23 in footprint, 14 gauge carbon steel construction, hinged cover, and ground mounting design make it ideal for factory automation and control room deployments. Its NEMA 12 protection and key-locked access help organize panels, protect sensitive electronics, and streamline maintenance workflows on busy production floors.
Yes. The enclosure carries a NEMA 12 rating, providing protection against dust and non-corrosive oil splashes. This makes AC-1424B well-suited for indoor industrial environments where equipment exposure to particulates and lubricants is common, helping maintain enclosure integrity and equipment reliability over time.
Maintenance is streamlined by the hinged cover and 3-point latching system, which reduces service time while keeping components secure. The carbon steel body and oil-resistant gasket deter degradation in harsh environments, lowering replacement and warranty costs. Over time, the enclosure supports tighter cable management and better accessibility, delivering measurable reductions in downtime and operational risk.
