Quick Summary
Rittal SE 5831.600 free-standing enclosure protects electrical panels in industrial control cabinets. Integrating varied equipment and mounting systems often slows projects and inflates costs, but this system streamlines configuration with a single-piece side panel design and VX25 accessory compatibility. It delivers IP55 protection, IK10 impact resistance, and NEMA 12/UL Type 1 compliance to perform reliably in harsh environments. By standardizing enclosure platforms and enabling straightforward mounting, it reduces field labor and spare-part complexity. This VX SE solution also supports scalable configurations, improving serviceability and lifecycle management while aligning with lean manufacturing and compliance workflows. This translates to faster commissioning, reduced changeover time, and predictable maintenance planning for critical process lines.

Product description
VX SE free-standing enclosure system, WHD: 800x1800x400 mm, sheet steel, with mounting plate, single door at the front
VX SE free-standing enclosure features a rigid sheet-steel chassis with two integral mounting levels, a screw-fastened rear panel, and a front door. This configuration accelerates wiring, reduces field modifications, and lowers commissioning time while minimizing risk of wiring errors. The system’s compatibility with VX25 accessories enables scalable configurations and future-proof expandsions, which translates into lower total cost of ownership as plants grow or reconfigure. With a single-piece roof and sides, the enclosure achieves improved rigidity and reduced ingress paths, boosting durability in dusty or humid environments used in automation cabinets. Dimensions WHD 800x1800x400 mm, mounting plate 699x1696 mm, and integrated rails standardize layout and streamline cable management. Protection ratings IP55 / NEMA 12 and IK10, plus UL Type 1, support global compliance for regulated industries. The included rear panel, lock, gland plates, and two punched rails simplify installation and service, while the weight (117 kg per pack) informs crane or forklift planning. PCF 445.8 kg CO2 eq (Cat B) provides sustainability metrics for responsible procurement. Overall, the VX SE system offers efficient maintenance, predictable sourcing, and a proven path to compliant, scalable automation enclosures.

FAQs
Yes. The SE 5831.600 is designed for VX25 accessory compatibility, enabling scalable configurations as your system grows. The enclosure ships with a door that can be swapped to the opposite side, supporting flexible installation layouts and simplifying retrofits in existing control panels.
The enclosure offers IP55 protection and NEMA 12 ratings, with IK10 impact resistance, and UL Type 1 for electrical assemblies. These ratings certify suitability for dusty or damp environments and provide compliance in global automation settings.
It is ideal for free-standing control panels in automation cabinets, process automation, and industrial automation deployments where robust protection, scalable mounting, and easy maintenance are priorities. Its dimensions and mounting plate compatibility support standard rack configurations in manufacturing lines.
Plan for a 800x1800x400 mm footprint with a 699x1696 mm mounting plate, two 18x39 mm punched rails, and a detachable rear panel. The enclosure weighs 117 kg per pack, so arrange crane or forklift access, and note the door hinge is user-reconfigurable for left or right mounting during installation.
Its standardized footprint, VX25 compatibility, and simple maintenance reduce field labor, spare parts, and commissioning time. Durable powder-coated finish and high protection ratings minimize downtime in harsh environments, contributing to lower lifecycle costs and more predictable procurement for regulated industries.
