Enclosure

An Enclosure, as the name hints, is a cabinet used to house electrical components, such as transformers, circuit breakers, switches, fuses, etc. Its main purpose is to protect the users from electric shocks due to short circuits and overcurrent conditions while protecting the electrical components from the external environment. It also keeps the electrical assembly concealed neatly for aesthetic purposes. Electrical Enclosure Boxes can be commonly found in industrial setups and residential areas. Electrical enclosures play a vital role in encasing transformers and complicated electrical setups in industrial areas where there are power distribution and power control systems on large scales. On the other hand, in residential applications, Electrical enclosures are often used to protect people from any electrical mishap and household appliances from sudden power surges.

Why do we need an Enclosure?

Enclosures are an important piece of equipment for the safety of any electrical system. With the world on a technological growth spree, these protective enclosures are more important than ever. These boxes are crucial in protecting electrical networks or complicated equipment in industries such as telecommunications, IT systems, and the Internet of Things (IoT), among many others. Not only can they save lives but also huge amounts of equipment and operating costs that may incur due to damages from external factors and subsequent system failures.

• They protect people and property from dangerous electrical hazards that may occur if the electrical components inside malfunction. Due to a short circuit or sudden voltage surge, the electric current flows through the wires and causes damage to anything that comes in contact with them. Electrical enclosures contain wires and prevent any contact with external objects.
• Without proper protection, electrical components could be damaged by the external environment. If these components are exposed to water or moisture, it can lead to short circuits and, eventually fires. Similarly, strong winds may damage the circuit boards, while dust may accumulate on the panels. All these external factors can significantly impact the performance of the electrical components and bring the operations to a halt. Electrical enclosures safeguard the electrical equipment from such damaging natural elements.
• Electrical enclosures keep the electrical systems concealed and prevent pests like rodents from taking shelter in the tight spaces damaging the wiring, which may seem insignificant but may cause serious issues in industrial setups.
• Many electrical component assemblies have live wire installations, which poses a severe electrocution hazard. An electrical enclosure helps ensure safety by preventing accidental contact with these live wires.
