SUPPLEMENT ENCLOSURES & ENCLOSURE FURNITURE
ENCLOSURES FOR CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTS E
nclosures merit more than a just a speedy selection of the cheapest
available options. The electronic or electrical installation it contains need to be protected in order to function correctly over the lifetime of the installation. Hazards come in many guises. Environmental, accidental or even intentional damage can occur, so ensuring the enclosure can provide a specified degree of protection against likely hazards is important. As with everything, budget is a factor. Sometimes what appears as a reasonably priced choice of enclosure can end up costing more overall by the time necessary items are added, such as locks and keys, backplates, and mounting brackets – some suppliers may include these as standard. Reputable manufacturers provide clear specifications concerning the materials their products are manufactured from, include IP and IK ratings, and provide technical datasheets detailing available accessories. During the specification process, the
following questions should be asked: Will the enclosure be interior or exterior? Is protection needed against damp,
rainwater, dust, sand, salt water, wind, dripping water, storms, extremes of temperature? Does the enclosure need to be flame retardant? Is protection from unauthorised access, accidental damage, electrical interference needed? Is physical inspection of contents or visual inspection required? Extremes of either cold or heat can
damage or shorten the useful life of components. Steel enclosures conduct heat, while polycarbonate enclosures insulate to some extent. Both have advantages, depending on application. Venting kits and exhaust fans can be used together with thermostats for thermal management. If these are needed, check first what accessories are compatible and available for the selected enclosure. Some environments are particularly challenging. For example, the petrochemical and chemical industries can be corrosive, and the agro food sector and medical environments demand the strictest hygiene standards. The latest product from Hylec, the DEDSS stainless steel series of lockable, solid door enclosures is specially designed to provide high-quality, secure
