Rugged NEMA 3R enclosure construction provides durable protection for electrical equipment in outdoor and damp locations. This housing reduces weather-induced degradation, minimizes corrosion, and lowers the likelihood of costly downtime caused by environmental exposure. It is ideally suited for outdoor motor starters, remote control panels, and harsh production line environments where enclosure integrity is essential. UL 67 listing and NEMA 12/3R protection deliver verifiable safety and compliance for control and power distribution gear. These certifications simplify customer audits, speed commissioning, and reduce the risk of non-conformance in regulated facilities. Applications include industrial automation panels, water treatment plants, and outdoor substations where dependable enclosure performance is a must. An interior that measures 48 inches in length by 28 inches in width with a height of 6.5 inches provides ample room for larger control assemblies, wiring harnesses, and future expansion without adding cabinets. The 178-pound construction resists flex and vibration, improving reliability in demanding environments. Fewer cabinets also translates to lower installation labor, simplified wiring runs, and easier field service. Pow-R-Xpress stocking program compatibility accelerates procurement with ready-to-ship stock, reducing downtime during project builds and maintenance cycles. Faster availability lowers carrying costs and improves cash flow for OEMs and end users alike. For multi-site deployments, the combination of quick access and consistent Eaton documentation supports faster commissioning and fewer last-minute design changes. Standardized dimensions, compatible mounting patterns, and clear labeling improve installation efficiency and safety. Integrators benefit from predictable fit and reduced change orders, while maintenance teams enjoy easier access for inspections and routine servicing. This enclosure aligns with Eaton’s broader Pow-R-Xpress and Pow-R-Line Xpert families, enabling scalable upgrades across complex automation environments.
