SUPPLEMENT ENCLOSURES & PANEL BUILDING SOLUTIONS
Enclosures must protect your team and your systems
Enclosures have a vital role to play in ensuring the safety and security of electrical equipment. They have to protect the people who operate it, safeguarding those who work in close proximity of switchgear and controlgear systems from the dangers of electric current, says Paul Metcalfe, Rittal’s product manager, enclosures and automation systems
T
he required level of protection and safety that enclosures provide varies
according to installation site, industry and application. Specific details can be found within the relevant industry standards, regulations and licensing conditions. The best-known of these requirements are the IP protection categories set out in IEC 60529 for protection against ingress of solid bodies, dust and water. There are others, however, that cover areas such as dimensional accuracy, corrosion resistance, dynamic material strength, and protection in extreme climatic conditions. The latter particularly applies to outdoor applications, where environments can fluctuate dramatically to either end of the temperature scale. Ensuring the long-term mechanical strength of its enclosures is a key focus for Rittal, and is the basis of its philosophy of standardised production and coating processes. Every enclosure is identically manufactured and coated to deliver the exact same standard of quality and performance.
Enclosures from the smallest to the largest.
