Overview

The ABB Circuit Safe Polycarbonate NEMA Enclosure Assembly (SKU: NC16146) offers superior protection for electrical components in demanding industrial settings. Constructed from tough, durable polycarbonate resin, this enclosure meets UL 50 Listed standards for Types 4X, 12, and 13, ensuring robust defense against dust, moisture, and chemical exposure. Its F1 rated ultraviolet resistance guarantees a long, stable service life, even in outdoor installations. The enclosure boasts an exceptionally high impact-resistance rating, exceeding UL-746C and IEC 62262 requirements, with an IK10 (20 Joules) impact rating, making it nearly three times more impact resistant than traditional fiberglass enclosures. The clear, external-hinge cover provides convenient visibility and easy access to internal components without compromising the enclosure's integrity. Machining polycarbonate is also a safe and straightforward process, free from the splintering issues associated with fiberglass. With dimensions of 16 inches x 14 inches x 6 inches, this enclosure provides ample space for component mounting. It is designed for a temperature range of -31°F to 266°F (-35°C to 130°C). The Carlon® Circuit Safe® NEMA enclosures are a flagship product, recognized for their design, durability, aesthetics, and economy of use. This specific model, NC16146, is ideal for applications requiring reliable environmental protection and easy maintenance in manufacturing plants, utility facilities, and other harsh environments. Back panels are available separately.
