Rittal TS 8188.235 Side Panel - IP55
Part Number: 8188235
Quick Summary
The Rittal TS 8188.235 Side Panel is designed to shield TS and TS IT enclosures while enabling secure mounting and automatic potential equalisation. Engineers commonly face EMC gaps and unreliable earthing during panel swaps, which can cause downtime and compliance risks. This panel delivers IP55 protection and earthing inserts to support robust EMC shielding, backed by ETIM EC002524 and ECLASS 27182101 classifications for clear procurement. Coupled with a durable 1.5 mm sheet steel build and a powder-coated exterior in RAL 7035, it combines reliability with straightforward installation, helping maintenance teams reduce rework and improve total cost of ownership for standard TS cabinet configurations.

Product description
TS Side panel, screw-fastened, for TS, TS IT, for WD: 1800x800 mm, Sheet steel
IP55 protection and a screw-fastened, field-replaceable design provide a tangible increase in enclosure reliability, reducing dust ingress and water exposure in demanding environments. This directly translates to fewer field complaints, lower maintenance costs, and extended component life within TS and TS IT systems used in automation and electrical distribution. The 1.5 mm sheet steel construction, combined with a dipcoat-primed base and powder-coated exterior, delivers lasting durability and corrosion resistance for harsh factory floors and outdoor installations. The included assembly parts and a two-pack configuration simplify logistics and spare-part planning, enabling faster cabinet upgrades or replacements without disrupting production. Earthing inserts on enclosure panel holders enable automatic potential equalisation, delivering consistent EMC performance across updated or expanded control panels. Optional inside or outside mounting flexibility further reduces retrofit time and retrofit risk in evolving automation layouts. The color solution, RAL 7035, ensures visual consistency with most control rooms and switchgear racks, aiding long-term maintenance planning and lifecycle cost reductions.

FAQs
To install, align the screw-fastened side panel with the enclosure frame and secure using the included assembly parts. The panel fits TS and TS IT types sized 1,800 mm high by 800 mm deep. Use earthing inserts as required to maintain continuous potential equalisation and full EMC protection during panel replacement.
IP55 protection means the panel resists dust ingress to a level that does not affect operation and can withstand water jets from a limited angle. This helps maintain reliable performance in dusty production lines or spray areas, reducing corrosion risk and downtime while preserving EMC integrity through the earthing insert design.
The panel is specified to fit TS and TS IT enclosure types with WD 1800x800 mm. For different widths or heights, select a variant within the TS family that matches your cabinet dimensions or contact Rittal for a compatible alternative. Proper fit ensures EMC performance and a secure seal.
Each order includes two side panels and the required assembly parts for mounting. The design also supports enclosure panel holders with earthing inserts for automatic potential equalisation, and the mounting can be performed from either inside or outside the enclosure to suit installation preferences.
Durable 1.5 mm sheet steel with a dipcoat-primed, powder-coated finish reduces repaint cycles and corrosion-related costs. IP55 protection lowers field repairs in dusty or wet environments, while easy installation and compatibility with TS/TS IT bode well for labor savings and faster capacity expansion, delivering measurable lifecycle ROI over standard panels.
