Enclosures, Cabinets & Fans
Thinking inside the box
Moeller Electric has addressed the needs of electrical distribution
equipment with a new range of enclosures and accessories
19in blanking
panels reduce
installation time
Schroff has launched a range of
plastic clip-in blanking panels that
provide a quick and easy way to
prevent hot air from recirculating through
the gaps between equipment mounted in
a 19in cabinet. The new clip-in panels
eliminate the need for screw-in blanking
plates and simply snap into place without
any tools. They can also be easily
removed and repositioned if the system
configuration has to be altered.
The clip-in panels are made from
composite material and are available in a
choice of black or RAL 7035 grey.
Compatible with any IEC 60297-2
compliant 19in cabinet, they come in 1U
and 2U sizes and can be used with
tapped or square-hole frames.
As well as ensuring proper air flow
through the cabinet, these handy timesaving
products give the finished system
a tidy and professional-looking
appearance. Prices start from £34 for a
pack of ten, with good discounts
available for volume orders.

Versatility, ease of use,
attractive styling and
competitive pricing are
among the key benefits of the
extensive range of enclosures now
being offered by Moeller Electric for
use with electrical distribution
equipment. Enclosures in the range,
which includes compact distribution
boxes and sheet-steel distribution
boards, have been developed
specifically to meet the needs of UK
users and all types are supplied
complete with neutral and earth
terminals for outgoing ways.
Manufactured from high-impact
flame-retardant plastic, the compact
distribution boxes are available in
standard versions and in moistureproof
versions. Both versions are
available with up to 54 usable
outgoing ways and both include
mounting rails for use not only with
MCBs and other protective devices,
but also with control components.
Standard distribution boxes are
offered in surface and flush mounting
Heaters protect delicate electronics
For enclosures which are situated
outdoors, Rittal has introduced a
range of heaters to protect the
versions with a choice of transparent
or opaque lids, while moisture-proof
boxes are suitable for surface mounting
only and are supplied with transparent
lids. For larger applications or those
where a metal enclosure is preferred,
Moeller Electric offers surface- and
flush-mounting distribution board
enclosures with up to 198 useable
outgoing ways.
Neat, compact assembly
These robust enclosures have provision
for a Moeller Electric MCCB incomer to
be fitted internally, eliminating the cost
and inconvenience of mounting the
incomer separately and producing a
neat, compact assembly.
The distribution board enclosures
which provide generous space for
wiring despite their compact overall
dimensions are supplied as standard
with a removable DIN-rail mounting
frame and a gland plate to facilitate
cabling. They are offered with plain
steel or glazed doors and with either
white or grey paint finish. The
delicate electronics housed within from
any temperature fluctuations.
Available with 400W and 800W
outputs, the heaters prevent the
temperature inside the enclosure from
dropping below operational level. The
heaters also facilitate in the reduction
of condensation within dual walled
cabinets where severe low
temperatures may be encountered.
The heaters can be easily installed
by simply snapping-on to DIN Top Hat
versatility is further increased by a
large range of accessories. This
includes blanking plates, segregators
that can be fitted internally to provide
a ‘hidden’ control section, single- and
double-row dead plates, universal
mounting plates for control items, and
key-operated door locks. All
accessories and standard enclosure
components can be purchased
separately.
