Copper-free aluminum construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and lighter weight, enabling easier handling during installation and reduced scaffold or crane time on site. This directly lowers total installed cost while improving long-term reliability in harsh environments. The through-feed capability and 1/2 inch trade size streamline wiring runs, reducing termination points and potential leak paths in hazardous locations, which translates to faster commissioning and fewer rework cycles. Surface-mount mounting simplifies retrofit and new-build projects alike, allowing quick integration with existing panels or downstream equipment without intensive enclosure modification. IP66 and NEMA 4 ratings deliver robust ingress protection against dust and water, supporting reliable operation in washdowns and harsh chemical sectors while staying compliant with NEC/CEC standards. Compatibility with the Pauluhn HFS family ensures consistent enclosure systems, spare parts availability, and straightforward maintenance planning for industrial automation and electrical infrastructure projects.
