FAQs
For compatibility, verify interior space is sufficient for 72 in L x 28 in W x 6.5 in H components, and plan cable routing to minimize bend radius. The enclosure weighs 271 lb, so use appropriate lifting hardware and secure mounting. Confirm NEMA 12/3R protection and UL 67 compliance align with your panel design and regulatory expectations.
UL 67 certification confirms electrical safety compliance, supporting regulatory approvals and supplier confidence. The NEMA 12/3R rating provides dust and water ingress protection (12) plus rain/ice resistance (3R), enabling reliable operation in mixed indoor/outdoor environments. Together they reduce field failures and enhance overall system reliability.
Yes. The GWPBQ2872PR is part of Eaton’s Pow-R-Xpress stocking program, designed to shorten lead times and improve replenishment for distributors and OEMs. This accelerates project timelines, lowers inventory risk, and supports frequent panel builds or upgrades with readily available stock.
In industrial automation, this enclosure provides robust environmental protection, ample space for wiring and devices, and proven compliance. The combination of 72x28x6.5 inches, UL 67, and NEMA 12/3R enables safer, faster commissioning, easier maintenance, and scalable expansion for panel assemblies and control cabinets.
Plan periodic inspections of seals and gaskets to maintain ingress protection, especially if exposed to dust or moisture. Schedule UL 67 and NEMA-related compliance reviews during major upgrades. The large interior supports modular device changes, but verify cable management remains uncluttered to preserve performance over time.
