Large dimensions and a robust 14-gauge carbon steel wall provide ample interior space for standard control panels while resisting impact and abuse in busy plant environments. The 18 inch depth, 36 inch width, and 48 inch height support layout flexibility for swing-out components and cable management, improving wire routing and service access. Mounting method is ground-based and there are no built-in mounting provisions, which simplifies site adaptation but may require a custom base or mounting brackets. Security is enhanced by key locking and a 3-point latching handle with plated screws, reducing tampering risk and supporting regulated access control for sensitive automation equipment. The enclosure’s NEMA 12 rating, plus an oil-resistant gasket, delivers dust and oil protection for indoor applications, minimizing maintenance. The painted ANSI 61 gray finish reduces corrosion concerns and provides a professional, code-compliant appearance for factory floors. As part of the Eaton B-Line family, AC-936B offers compatibility with AC-9 Console components and similar mid-size enclosures, enabling scalable, modular control rooms. This combination translates to lower total cost of ownership by decreasing downtime, simplifying installation, and improving long-term reliability in industrial environments.
