Shelters
Shelters are protective enclosures designed to house and shield electrical control panels from environmental hazards, such as weather, dust, moisture, and physical damage. These shelters are essential in both indoor and outdoor settings to ensure the safety and longevity of the control panels.
- Outdoor Enclosures
- Purpose: Protect control panels from rain, snow, wind, dust, and temperature extremes.
- Material: Often made from durable, weather-resistant materials like stainless steel, fiberglass, or heavy-duty plastic.
- Features:
- Sealed doors with gaskets to prevent water and dust ingress.
- Ventilation systems or cooling units to prevent overheating.
- UV-resistant coatings to prevent degradation from sunlight.
- Industrial Enclosures
- Purpose: Protect control panels in harsh industrial environments, such as factories, mines, or power plants.
- Material: Heavy-duty steel, aluminum, or reinforced plastic to withstand mechanical impacts, chemicals, or vibration.
- Features:
- Reinforced doors and locking mechanisms for security.
- Explosion-proof designs for hazardous locations.
- EMI/RFI (Electromagnetic/Radio Frequency Interference) shielding for sensitive electronics.
