FAQs
The AC-20C30 is designed for surface mounting using externally mounted feet that align with standard mounting patterns. Begin by securing the feet to a clean, level surface, then align the enclosure body and fasten it with appropriate screws. The hinged cover remains accessible throughout the installation, and the external feet simplify leveling and alignment, reducing on-site fabrication and downtime.
Key specs include 20 inches in height, 30 inches in width, 13.12 inches in depth, and a 42.8-pound weight. Construction is carbon steel with 14 gauge walls and a painted ANSI 61 gray finish. It is a medium single-door, surface-mount enclosure with a Hinged cover and NEMA 12 rating, certified under UL 508A and CSA C22.2.
The AC-20C30 carries a NEMA 12 rating, which is intended for indoor dry or moderately dusty environments. It is not designed for direct outdoor exposure or wet/damp conditions. If outdoor use is required, consider an enclosure with a NEMA 4X or IP rating and appropriate environmental seals. Always verify site conditions against enclosure specifications.
This enclosure is UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certified, reflecting compliance with recognized electrical safety standards. The NEMA 12 rating indicates protection against dust and some oil, while the UL/CSA marks help satisfy audit and procurement requirements in regulated industries. These certifications support safe operation, system integrity, and reliable integration into electrical panels.
The AC-20C30 contributes to ROI through reduced downtime and maintenance costs thanks to a robust carbon steel build, durable gasket sealing, and a hinged continuous cover for quick access. External mounting feet shorten installation time, while EN/UL/CSA compliance minimizes regulatory risk. Overall, lifecycle costs improve as service intervals lengthen and upgrade cycles are simplified.
