FAQs
When planning installation, verify NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX compliance for your site and confirm the enclosure is used in Hazardous/Classified Locations as designated. The NXTS14538162 provides IP66 and NEMA 4X protection, a hinged lid for quick access, and two gland plates to support diverse wiring methods. Ensure mounting centers of 407 mm horizontal and 305 mm vertical align with existing frame supports. Plan for 690 Vac/Vdc capability and ample internal space for controller assemblies, keeping clearance for maintenance and heat dissipation. Finally, account for proper cable entry seals and gland plate usage to preserve ingress protection during retrofit or expansion projects.
Yes. The enclosure ships with two gland plates and a hinged design that accommodates standard field wiring methods. Its internal dimensions (45" x 38" x 16") provide ample space for common automation hardware, including drives and PLCs, while maintaining a compact footprint. The 407 mm horizontal and 305 mm vertical fixing centers facilitate straightforward mounting to existing racks or frames, reducing retrofit complexity and enabling quicker panel assembly.
The NXTS14538162 carries multiple certifications for broad deployment: IP66 ingress protection, NEMA 4X enclosure rating, and hazardous location suitability including NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX standards. It’s designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations, with 690 Vac/Vdc capability to support diverse industrial power systems. These certifications support global compliance for industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and offshore facilities.
Using 316L stainless steel in washdown or corrosive environments significantly reduces maintenance frequency and part replacement, thanks to superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity. The NXTS14538162 is engineered for longevity in harsh settings, lowering total cost of ownership through extended service intervals, fewer enclosure replacements, and reduced downtime during routine inspections or after harsh cleaning cycles.
Typical applications include industrial automation control panels in chemical plants, water treatment facilities, offshore oil and gas operations, food and beverage processing, and any environment requiring washdown protection and corrosion resistance. Industries benefit from the enclosure’s IP66/NEMA 4X protection, hazardous location suitability, and robust 316L stainless steel construction, enabling compliant, durable installations with long service life.
