New enclosures offer better value and durability than unibody enclosures

Rittal has introduced the SE 8 line of stand-alone enclosures. The new enclosures combine the interior space efficiency of modular designs with a price point that rivals unibody enclosures. These freestanding enclosures are offered in single or double-door designs. The enclosures use 14-gauge doors, and 16-gauge panels and roof. All materials are offered in carbon or stainless steel. The single-door carbon-steel option is UL Type 12 and 3R, with a Type 4 version available. The single-door stainless steel option is also UL Type 12, 3R, with a Type 4X version. PE conductor connection points and grounding bolts are standard, with comprehensive optional accessories that offer PE busbars, grounding straps and grounding rails. The enclosures are claimed to be a superior choice for durability and customisation over unibody enclosures.
