Start with the installation zone
A factory-floor enclosure may face dust, oil, washdown, vibration, impact, heat, and frequent service. Selection should connect the actual zone conditions to material, sealing, cooling, mounting, cable entry, and operator access.
Inputs to define
| Input | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Dust, oil, and water exposure | Determines sealing, drainage, and maintenance needs |
| Temperature and heat load | Sets cooling and component derating boundaries |
| Impact and vibration | Influences material, mounting, and hardware |
| Cable routing and entry | Coordinates glands, bend radius, and separation |
| Operator and service access | Defines doors, clearance, labels, and locks |
| Required evidence | Keeps rating and material claims tied to the actual build |
Scope boundary
This is a selection workflow, not an inherited IP/NEMA rating or site certification. Verify the enclosure and installation against the project evidence.
