FAQs
The enclosure ships with doors hinged on the right but can be swapped to the left, plus a mounting plate, rear panel, gland plates, and two punched rails. This configuration supports quick interior wiring, flexible access, and straightforward retrofits, reducing site downtime during panel upgrades.
This model provides IP55 protection, IK10 impact resistance, and UL 50E Type 1/NEMA 1 compliance. These standards ensure dust and water resistance, robust impact protection, and electrical enclosure suitability for industrial control cabinets, helping you meet regulatory requirements and maintain system reliability.
While IP55 offers substantial protection against dust and water ingress, this enclosure is not rated for direct outdoor exposure in severe weather. For outdoor or exposed locations, supplemental protection or higher IP-rated enclosures should be considered, depending on environmental conditions and regulatory requirements.
Interior compatibility includes a mounting plate sized 1,099 × 2,096 mm, two 18 × 39 mm punched rails, and gland plates that streamline cable entry. The design supports tidy wiring, modular component placement, and easier future upgrades, reducing installation time and error rates in control cabinets.
Each pack weighs 204 kg and carries a PCF of 502.6 kg CO2 eq (Cat B), reflecting a substantial but measurable environmental footprint. While the upfront cost reflects durable sheet-steel construction and long service life, the standardized components and straightforward maintenance contribute to lower lifecycle costs and predictable ROI over time.
