largest shopping malls. However, the crucial requirement for the mall was to ensure that these surface-mount enclosures had the level of protection sufficient to withstand a fire. Surface-mounted fire protection enclosures


In many situations, the cables and electrical junctions that power fire-protection devices could be best protected by encasing them within concrete. The inflexibility of this approach, however, means that fire protection system designers are restricted and would have to work in detail with the building architect from the outset. This also limits the flexibility to make changes to the fire protection system. The alternative solution is conventional surface-


mount enclosures, which enable ease in planning and installation. These enclosures can be quickly mounted, adjusted to suit on-site and, if needed, their position can be changed. This flexible and scalable approach was important to Limbecker Platz, one of the North Rhein Westphalia region’s


are constructed from heat- and fire-resistant materials to ensure electrical functional integrity for up to 90 minutes. E30 certification guarantees functional integrity for 30 minutes in the event of a fire, providing circuit protection for devices such as alarm systems or emergency lighting. The extended E90 certification provides circuit protection for as much as 90 minutes, which might be required for booster stations for the supply of extinguishing water, smoke and heat venting systems, as well as fire brigade lifts. When selecting an enclosure to meet these


levels of fire protection, it’s important to check that testing and approval has been granted according to recognised standards such as DIN 4102 part 12, EN 60670, and IEC 62208. To achieve these levels, the enclosure will be constructed from thermoplastic, and will also need to be resilient to impact. As well as withstanding flame, in an emergency situation the risk of suffering physical force is high. This fire-protection specification is met by Spelsberg’s WKE enclosures, which matched the requirements of Limbecker Platz.


Can your enClosure sustain Change?


As the range across the enclosure market becomes increasingly alike, what better way to ensure your decision process is more informed than the product differentiation offered in the new Takachi suite, brought to you by CamdenBoss. A product needs to be waterproof, rustproof, and


made of UV-Resistant materials in order for it to demonstrate its outdoor capabilities. The 73 and 74 series ensure your electronics are safe and well protected due to the high-level safety ratings. These products provide you with the security that your internal components will be well protected against the elements such as rain and direct sunlight. Since the COVID-19 Pandemic, the demand for


handheld enclosures has rapidly accelerated as has the use of monitoring devices such as temperature control. The 98 and 99 series from Takachi are the ideal handheld enclosure solutions to accommodate your components and electronics. With a range of functionalities, the new


Takachi suite guarantees a reliable and durable solution for any environment, making them highly valuable in many industries. These enclosures are also aesthetically pleasing with a sleek and modern design. CamdenBoss has been a proud distributor of


Takachi products since 2012. Its own comprehensive selection of components and enclosures provides

applications also need secure and reliable operation of fire protection systems. In September 2020, Berlin’s ‘Kanzlerbahn’ underground train line U55, one of the capital’s busiest routes connecting the city centre to the Brandenburg Gate, was connected to the new U5 line, and this had to ensure the highest level of safety. To achieve this, Spelsberg’s WKE cable


junction boxes were specified. These enclosures also include integrated fuses that enable nonreactive cable branching so, in the event of a fault, the functional integrity in the main section is unaffected. In addition, to ensuring safety and flexibility


along miles of tunnel, the Spelsberg Rapidbox can also provide E90 fire protection for tap conductor connections rated to 400V. Rapidbox removes the need for electrical installers to cut the supply cable when fitting cable taps and additional sockets, saving significant time compared to installing a new supply cable, while maintaining safety throughout. Spelsberg has an on-site engineering service


including CNC customisation, and can advise which enclosure will meet application demands.
