Product description
VX Isolator door cover, WHD 103x1800x500 mm
UL 50E Type 1 compliance reduces regulatory risk and ensures safe isolation of master switches in enclosure systems, enabling quick commissioning and consistent safety practices. This directly lowers the cost of non-compliance, minimizes rework, and accelerates project approval while aligning with common electrical code expectations in industrial environments. The IP55 protection (in conjunction with VX series enclosures) and NEMA 12 compatibility shield interior components from dust and moisture, extending service life and reducing maintenance intervals. The 1.5 mm sheet steel construction with a powder-coated finish in RAL 7035 delivers durable, corrosion-resistant panels that retain a uniform appearance across installations, even in high-traffic plant areas. Dimensions of 103 mm width, 1,800 mm height, and 500 mm depth ensure a precise, space-conscious fit for bayed enclosures. Weighing 17 kg per pack, the unit supports straightforward handling and safer installation. Compatibility with Allen-Bradley, Square D, GE, Eaton, and Siemens actuator levers simplifies integration with existing master-switch assemblies. The supply includes a main door lock, cover plate, and assembly parts, reducing field sourcing. Note: cover may only be mounted on a single-door enclosure with tubular door frame, helping to prevent misinstallation and warranty issues. These design choices collectively shorten installation time, improve safety margins, and support robust uptime metrics in production lines.

FAQs
To install the VX 8951.030, ensure you are mounting on a single-door enclosure with a tubular door frame. The kit includes the main door lock, cover plate, and assembly parts. Follow standard safety procedures, align with the 103 mm width and 1,800 mm height specifications, and secure the cover to the frame using the supplied hardware. Compatibility with common master-switch actuators speeds commissioning and reduces field errors.
Yes. The door cover has been tested for compatibility with master switches from major manufacturers, including Allen-Bradley, Square D, GE, Eaton, and Siemens. Applications listed include Allen Bradley: 1494 F-M1/P1/S1 and 140 U-K-FCX04, ensuring reliable integration with popular automation ecosystems and reducing integration risk during panel assembly.
The VX 8951.030 meets UL 50E Type 1 for enclosure safety, provides IP55 protection when used with VX series enclosures, and supports NEMA 12 configurations. It is designed to integrate with UL-compliant panels and offers robust protection in dusty or damp industrial environments, helping ensure ongoing regulatory compliance and equipment protection.
The door cover uses 1.5 mm sheet steel with a durable powder-coated finish in RAL 7035. This combination delivers high impact resistance and corrosion protection while maintaining a consistent, easy-to-clean appearance across heavy-usage areas. The cosmetic finish also helps keep enclosure interiors visually organized and compliant with standard industrial color schemes.
By simplifying safety-lock installation, reducing field errors, and enhancing protective ratings (UL 50E Type 1, IP55, NEMA 12), the VX 8951.030 lowers commissioning time and maintenance downtime. Its durable construction minimizes replacement needs, and compatibility with common actuator levers streamlines integration with existing master-switch configurations, contributing to improved uptime and lower total cost of ownership.
