What is an enclosure?
An enclosure is a protective container that encloses electrical or electronic equipment. Its purpose is to protect both the equipment and the user from potential hazards.
Enclosures come in a variety of materials, but sheet metal enclosures are particularly popular for their robustness and durability.
Enclosure for electrical switchboard
A sheet metal outdoor enclosure is specifically designed to protect the components of the switchboard. These enclosures are often modular and can be adapted to specific needs.
They ensure the optimal functioning of the switchboard and reduce the risk of short circuits and other electrical faults.
Outdoor enclosure – for installations that require high reliability
An outdoor enclosure must be able to withstand moisture, UV radiation, temperature changes and mechanical impact over a long period of time. Our enclosures for outdoor installations are available in protection classes up to IP66 and are manufactured in materials adapted to Nordic conditions.
Whether for infrastructure, energy facilities or outdoor industrial environments, we deliver outdoor enclosures in the right class and the right dimensions, as standard or customized.
Enclosure classes and IP65
Why are enclosure classes used? Enclosure classes, such as IP ratings, indicate how well an enclosure protects against the ingress of solid particles and liquids.
For example, an IP65 enclosure is dust-tight and protected against water jets from all directions. Understanding these classifications will help you choose the right enclosure for your needs.
Advantages of sheet metal enclosures
Sheet metal enclosures offer several advantages:
- Robustness: Strong and durable, ideal for demanding environments.
- Adaptability: Easy to modify for specific applications.
- Protection: Excellent protection against mechanical damage and electromagnetic interference.
