Quick Summary
Rittal VX 8208.000 enclosure is the robust housing for electrical control panels in industrial environments. Engineers often struggle with maximizing interior space, cable routing, and protecting sensitive components from dust and moisture in crowded control cabinets. This enclosure delivers IP55 protection, IK10 impact resistance, UL 50E Type 1 and NEMA 1 compatibility, with a durable powder-coated exterior in RAL 7035. The system supports precise interior installation thanks to a dedicated mounting plate, two punched rails, and versatile gland plate configurations. Door orientation is flexible—the right-hinge is standard but can be swapped to the left. For buyers, the result is faster assembly, improved maintenance access, and lower life-cycle costs in harsh production environments.

FAQs
The VX 8208.000 ships with two front doors hinged on the right by default, and the design allows the hinges to be swapped to the left. This flexibility supports tighter layouts and easier access from the preferred side, reducing installation time and improving maintenance workflows in constrained spaces.
The enclosure provides IP55 protection and IK10 impact resistance, along with UL 50E Type 1 and NEMA 1 compatibility. The combination of IP and IK ratings with UL/NEMA classifications ensures compliance for both environmental protection and mechanical integrity in industrial environments.
Yes. With a WHD of 1200x2000x800 mm, a robust sheet-steel construction, mounting plate, and gland plate configurations, this enclosure is well-suited for manufacturing control panels. The dual-door design and bottom-focused interior space optimization support reliable wiring, cooling, and component placement in demanding lines.
Key considerations include IP55 protection, IK10 impact resistance, UL 50E Type 1 rating, and NEMA 1 compatibility. These specifications address ingress protection, impact durability, and recognized electrical enclosure standards, simplifying compliance planning for regulated industrial environments.
The rugged powder-coated exterior and durable sheet-steel construction minimize corrosion-related maintenance, while the interior mounting plate and gland plates streamline wiring and upgrades. Although the enclosure is heavy, its long service life, easier access for diagnostics, and compatibility with standard accessories reduce downtime and total cost of ownership over the cabinet’s life cycle.
