Carbon Steel Enclosures
Carbon Steel Electrical Enclosure
Carbon steel enclosures are typically fabricated in three configurations: hot-rolled, cold-rolled, and galvanized.
Enclosures made of any type of mild steel are suitable for many indoor and outdoor applications, although they do not normally acquire a corrosion resistance (“X”) grade. However, using a powder-coated paint finish significantly improves the performance of these materials.
Evaluating Carbon Steel Enclosures
Consider these variables while choosing a carbon steel enclosure for your application:
- IP/NEMA Rating: Many applications require IP and/or NEMA enclosures to protect equipment from environmental factors. Waterproof and dustproof gaskets in our carbon steel enclosures meet IP66 and NEMA 4X standards.
- Corrosion resistance: Powder coating can make carbon steel corrosion-resistant; however, stainless steel is more corrosion-resistant.
- Mounting Hardware: Carbon steel enclosures are used to wall-mount control panels, junction boxes, and more.
- Easily accessible: Does your application require rapid electrical box component access? For safe and easy access, our carbon steel enclosures include hinged lids with keyed quarter-turn latches.
- Size: Choose an electrical enclosure that fits your application, providing room to install and assemble all components.
Advantage of Carbon Steel Enclosures
Carbon steel is the appropriate material for electrical cabinets. It is recognized for its:
- Strength: Carbon steel is a robust, long-lasting material that can endure collision and other harm.
- Security: Due to its strength, this metal prevents illegal access to the electrical enclosure.
- Malleability: Carbon steel can be molded into any shape, making it suitable for any bespoke cabinet design.
- Fire-resistance: Carbon steel is fireproof and will protect equipment from high temperatures and flames.
- Cost-effectiveness: This metal is manufactured in thinner sheets, resulting in a reduced price.
Applications for Carbon Steel Electrical Cabinets
Carbon steel is a popular material for enclosures, especially in indoor or outdoor environments where corrosion is negligible. Carbon steel electrical cabinets are suitable for the following applications:
- Security equipment: Cameras and other surveillance equipment can be kept in a cabinet to prevent damage.
- Battery storage: Carbon steel cabinets can hold battery storage components for bigger energy-producing systems.
Custom Carbon Steel Electrical Enclosure
Our Carbon Steel electrical cabinets are available in a variety of layouts. These many models range in size, door positioning, and mounting options, making it simple to pick a cabinet that fits your equipment and facilities. Our layouts contain:Rack mount、Pedestal、Large single door、Small single door、Quad door、Double door、Front and rear door、Econoline、Specline
In addition to selecting a configuration, you may customize your carbon steel electrical enclosure. Tell our engineers what you need from your cabinet, and they will create a design with the characteristics you want. Our customization options include:
- Finishes: Applying a finish to a carbon steel enclosure can enhance its protective characteristics.
- Electrical integration: Electrical pieces connect switches and power strips.
- Mounting: Select the most suitable supporting style for your carbon steel electrical enclosure.
- Shelves and racks: The Enclosures can install racks and shelves of any size within your cabinet.
- Fan kits: A fan circulates air around the enclosure, removing heat and drawing in cold air.
- Heating and air conditioning: Climate control features adjust the temperature within the cabinet, which is ideal for sensitive electronics.
- Insulation: It helps to keep the temperature in your enclosure at its optimal level.
