What are enclosures?
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 switchboard enclosure is specifically designed to protect the switchboard components.
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.
Enclosure for outdoor use
When it comes to outdoor installations, it is important to choose an enclosure that can withstand the elements.
Outdoor enclosures are designed to withstand moisture, UV radiation and extreme temperatures.
This makes them ideal for applications that require high reliability in harsh conditions.
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 ratings 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.
