- Maximum security for all types of simple mechanical and electrical maintenance operations
Quick and easy implementation
The space comes within the enclosure and the dimensions of the closing plates facilitate connection.
Durability
The product is designed for harsh industrial environments with mechanical risks or nonexplosive dust risks.
Operating continuity
- Local disconnection: only the targeted machine is switched off, the rest of the installation can continue operating
- Reduced costs related to production downtime
Inductive load breaking (AC23)
Safety enclosures are designed for use with inductive loads and are able to make and break on-load (AC23).
Enclosure
The robustness of the safety enclosure is ensured by its 2 mm thick sheet steel construction. Corrosion protection is provided by a 70 µm thick polyester powder coating (RAL 7035). The door is hinge-mounted (120° opening) and is secured with a key lock (8 mm square key). The enclosure has an IP65 degree of protection. 4 stainless steel retaining brackets delivered with the enclosure.
Switching device
Steel safety enclosure is equipped with visible break Socomec load break switches. They make and break under load and providesafety isolation for any low voltage electric circuit. Separation of the contacts is visible through the triplex window, located on the enclosure door, providing guaranteed isolation to the operator. A mechanical indicator, linked directly to the operation of the contacts, is alsoprovided to give clear position indication.
Operating handle
The safety enclosure is equipped with an unpainted metal operating handle which is used for both normal and emergency cut-off operations. The handle can be locked with up to 3 padlocks with a diameter of between 4 and 8 mm. As an alternative to the standard metallic handle, a red plastic handle with a metal padlocking lever, or a red metallic handle, can be factory fitted on request.
Double locking
Double locking prevents the opening of the enclosure door with the switch in its closed position and the closing of the switch when the door is open; with the use of a tool, authorised personnel can bypass this system when the door is open for maintenance purposes. The locking system comprises a single guard moulded from zamak (aluminium alloy) with a simple and robust mechanism driven directly by the handle's operating shaft.
Auxiliary control
A removable plate, located below the enclosure's operating handle, is supplied for the installation of auxiliary controls.
Connections
Two removable (top and bottom) gland plates facilitate cable entry and connections. Cables connect directly onto switch power terminals for enclosures ≤ 160A; for ≥ 200A incoming cables connect to descending copper bars.
Miscellaneous
A reversible grounding point enables the termination of earth connections inside and/or outside of the enclosure. All active parts are covered to avoid direct contact.
