Eaton Specification Sheet - NXTPS4848203
The 48 x 48 x 20 in NXTPS4848203 N-TB enclosure provides ample interior space for bulky control panels, drives, and power distribution gear. Three gland plates simplify cable entry and separation, while the built‑in hinge enables front access without removing the enclosure from the wall. This layout reduces field modifications and speeds commissioning, helping projects stay on schedule and within budget. With the hinge operation, technicians gain fast front access to wiring and components, cutting maintenance downtime during inspections or updates. The enclosure is compatible with standard mounting patterns and gland configurations, enabling straightforward retrofits or expansions as system requirements evolve, translating to lower lifetime costs and improved uptime for critical processes. Protection for demanding environments starts with IP66 ingress protection and NEMA 3S 4 rating, delivering dust-tight performance and resistance to water spray in outdoor or washdown locations. For projects in hazardous or classified locations, the enclosure aligns with NEC/CEC IEC IECEx/ATEX standards, supporting safe operation and regulatory compliance across multinational sites. Material choices balance durability and cost; painted mild steel offers rugged mechanical protection with corrosion resistance suitable for many industrial environments, reducing total cost of ownership compared with more expensive alloys. The surface finish accepts field wiring, labeling, and coatings alongside reliable hinge operation and gasket integrity for long service life. Regulatory and installation advantages include area classification for hazardous/classified locations and a robust NEMA rating that complements the IP66 protection. The enclosure also includes a clear path to compliance with global standards—NEC, IEC, and IECEx/ATEX—across facilities in North America, Europe, and other regions, helping procurement teams standardize spec and simplify sourcing. In practice, NXTPS4848203 supports scalable control architectures while keeping maintenance straightforward. At roughly 32.56 lb, it remains manageable for on-site handling, and its 3 gland plates provide flexible entries for multiple cable types and sizes. Pairing with Eaton's accessory catalog pages ensures compatible accessories and streamlined installation.
