What is the purpose of ABS enclosures?

To protect internal components from dust, moisture, impact, and tampering. A key example of how these products can be used is to house electrical components in a busy manufacturing factory. This saves the customer time and money when it comes to having to keep replacing damaged equipment, and also saves an organisation’s staff from coming into harm’s way through electric shocks whilst on jobs.

Key features

Strength and weight are the main features of this product that make it so popular. The lightweight design allows it to be carried around workplaces and sites easily for installation compared to heavier metal alternatives. ABS plastic is also impact-resistant, making the enclosure durable. This means that when installed, the lightweight material makes the user’s job less strenuous when compared to other metal enclosure alternatives.

The PP30 series from HB ABS halogen-free enclosures offers robust protection for electrical components, safeguarding them against a variety of risks. With an IP65 rating, these enclosures are shielded from both dust and water, and their IK08 impact resistance ensures durability against mechanical damage. They are also highly resistant to chemicals, alkalis, oils, and salts.

Available in a range of sizes from 200 x 300 x 130 mm to 600 x 800 x 260 mm, these enclosures come in a RAL 7035 light grey colour and can be fitted with either an opaque or transparent door. Designed to handle voltages up to 690V and currents of 800A, they provide versatile, reliable protection.
