Overview

The nVent A36X3E8310 is a Type 12, 3-door disconnect enclosure designed for industrial applications requiring protection against dust, dirt, and dripping oil. This wall-mount enclosure measures 36.00" (H) x 82.25" (W) x 10.00" (D), providing substantial internal space for motor controllers, disconnect switches, or power distribution equipment. Constructed from 0.098" thick steel, it features an ANSI 61 gray polyester powder coating for corrosion resistance. Key features include a three-door configuration with a right-hand master door equipped with a screwdriver-operated defeater and mechanical interlock, ensuring slave doors cannot be opened first. Removable 0.127" thick steel panels mount on collar studs (panels sold separately). A high-impact thermoplastic data pocket and welded lifting eyes are included for convenience. The right flange has preferred cutouts for mounting most disconnect switches and circuit breakers. Its low-profile design optimizes space usage while maintaining Type 12 ingress protection. Ideal for motor control centers, automation panels, and machine interfaces in manufacturing or processing facilities. UNSPSC code: 39121324. Country of Origin: US.
