FAQs
What makes this weatherproof electrical enclosure suitable for outdoor use?
Our IP66-rated weatherproof electrical enclosures are designed for outdoor installations. They offer complete protection against dust, water jets, and harsh environmental conditions. The 1.5mm powder-coated mild steel construction makes it corrosion resistant. Therefore, it is ideal for industrial, commercial, and electrical infrastructure applications.
What does the IP66 rating mean for this outdoor electrical enclosure?
An IP66 electrical enclosure is:
- Completely dust-tight: No ingress of dust, which means your equipment stays safe.
- Water-resistant against powerful jets: Can withstand high-pressure water sprays from any direction.
These features make the enclosure ideal for outdoor environments, industrial facilities, and marine applications where protection from water and dust is critical.
How does the IK10 rating enhance the durability of this metal electrical enclosure?
The IK10 rating indicates the highest level of impact resistance, meaning the enclosure can withstand mechanical impacts up to 20 joules (equivalent to a 5kg object dropped from 40cm). It is suitable for high-risk areas where chances of accidental or intentional damage are high.
Is this electrical enclosure box waterproof?
Yes, this weatherproof electrical enclosure box is designed to withstand harsh conditions, including heavy rain, humidity, and dust. While it is not submersible, it provides excellent protection for electrical components in outdoor settings.
What security features does this lockable electrical enclosure include?
The lockable electrical enclosure features:
- A secure locking mechanism to prevent unauthorised access.
- A backing plate for stability and additional protection.
- Optional electrical enclosure locks and latches for enhanced security.
These security features make it suitable for high-security applications such as telecom installations, power distribution, and access control systems.
Does this enclosure have ventilation options?
Yes, the vented electrical enclosure option includes vented doors, which:
- Improve airflow to prevent overheating of electrical components.
- Enhance system longevity by reducing thermal buildup.
- Provide passive cooling, making it ideal for outdoor electrical cabinet installations.
For fully sealed applications, we can build non-vented models.
How does this hinged electrical enclosure simplify access?
Our hinged electrical enclosures provide:
- Quick access to internal components without fully removing the door.
- Ease of maintenance and installation, reducing downtime.
- Secure locking while still allowing for rapid adjustments or inspections.
This feature is particularly useful for frequent servicing of control panels, power supplies, and networking equipment.
Can this wall mount electrical enclosure be installed on poles?
