FAQs
The VX 8284.000 ships with two punched rails (18 x 39 mm) and a mounting plate sized 1099 x 1696 mm. The doors are hinged on the right by default and can be swapped to the left, simplifying installation to match existing panel layouts and improving accessibility in crowded spaces.
The enclosure uses sheet steel with varying thicknesses (1.5 mm to 3.0 mm for mounting plate), plus a powder-coated exterior. It provides IP55 protection, IK10 impact resistance, and UL 50E Type 1/NEMA 1 compliance, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments and code-aligned panel fabrication.
Yes. IP55 protection shields internal components from dust and water ingress, while the textured powder-coated exterior offers enhanced durability. This makes it appropriate for many automation cabinets and process equipment enclosures in moderately harsh environments.
The enclosure meets IP55 and IK10 ratings, UL 50E Type 1, and NEMA 1 classifications, with NEMA-based and UL-compliant design considerations. These certifications help ensure code compliance for North American and international panel builds and support safe integration with standard electrical components.
Weight per pack is 166 kg, with a PCF of 409 kg CO2 eq (Category B). This data supports lifecycle assessment, helps with transport planning, and informs sustainability reporting, contributing to a more predictable maintenance cycle and informed procurement decisions in large automation projects.
