Products
UL Listed Cabinets
It’s crucial that your electrical components are safeguarded from damage at all times. With National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) rated and Underwriter Laboratories (UL) Listed cabinets from APX, you can ensure optimal protection against harsh external conditions including security from unwanted intrusion.
Stainless Steel Electrical Enclosures
Stainless steel is a durable, long-lasting solution for protecting your electrical equipment. The features of stainless steel include:
Toughness: Stainless steel is a strong material that will stand up in any harsh conditions, including accidental damage.
Non-corrosive: This material has great resistance against corrosion and rust.
Hygienic: Because stainless steel is non-porous, it resists the growth of bacteria and germs.
Temperature stability: This material is fireproof and remains stable in cold temperatures.
If your application requires a NEMA 4X or 3R electrical cabinet, get in touch with APX Enclosures as your stainless steel enclosure manufacturer. We have many cabinet styles available and can customize them to your specifications.
Carbon Steel
Carbon steel is an ideal material for electrical cabinets. It is known for its:
Strength: Carbon steel is a hard, durable material that will withstand impact and other damage.
Security: This metal’s strength deters unauthorized access to the electrical enclosure.
Malleability: Carbon steel can be formed into any shape, so it will work with any custom cabinet design.
Fire-resistance: Carbon steel is fireproof and will protect equipment from extreme heat and fires.
Cost-effectiveness: This metal is made in thinner sheets, resulting in a lower price.
At APX Enclosures, they make electrical cabinets from carbon steel for a variety of applications. Their engineers can design your cabinet to your specifications and include custom features and styles.
Aluminum Electrical Enclosures
Aluminum is one of the most popular materials used for electrical enclosures. It has many unique features that make it ideal for protecting electrical equipment. At APX Enclosures, we understand the intricacies of the electrical components used at your business, so we use high-quality aluminum for our enclosures to impart them with the following benefits:
Strong: Aluminum is durable and can withstand impact, mechanical breakage and fractures. Additionally, our heavy-duty enclosures are designed to resist stress and cracking.
Non-corrosive: Aluminum is highly resistant to corrosion, so the enclosure lasts longer. Whether the location is adjacent to saltwater, weather hazards or UV rays, the aluminum will retain its integrity much better than other metals.
Lightweight: Aluminum weighs less than other materials and has a significantly greater strength-to-weight ratio.
Heat conductive: Aluminum has high heat dissipation for excellent temperature control. It can move heat away from electronics and reflect sunlight.
Temperature resistant: Aluminum’s properties remain the same across temperature extremes, allowing it to retain its strength in harsh environments.
Electronics protector: Aluminum has natural properties that help keep electronics in peak operating condition. It has a high conductivity-to-weight ratio and can shield against RFI and EMI. It can also reflect radio and radar wavelengths.
Single shape: Aluminum resists distortion, swelling and deforming, even in harsh conditions.
Nontoxic: Aluminum is a safe metal, allowing you to install it in any location because it is odorless, non-magnetic, non-flammable and free of hazardous chemicals.
Flame protector: Aluminum can naturally help protect against open flames and the associated heat levels.
NEMA 4X Enclosures
The NEMA 4X electrical enclosure is a specific type of enclosure that meets the following standards:
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, including offshore environments
Protection from hose-directed and splashing water
Protection from dust and rain
Resistant to corrosion
The NEMA 4X enclosure can serve indoor or outdoor in telecommunications, utilities, manufacturing, oilfield work and many other industries. It is especially common in environments with food products.
NEMA 3R Enclosures
A NEMA 3R enclosure is a type of electrical cabinet that:
Protects components from weather conditions such as rain, snow and ice.
Keeps water, dirt and dust from getting inside.
Prevents personnel from accessing hazardous parts.
Compared to lower-tier NEMA ratings, the NEMA 3R rating can stand up to additional weather conditions, providing comprehensive defense against the elements. This security is why the NEMA 3R electrical enclosure is common for junction and wiring boxes for utilities and communications and for housing other critical electrical components in outdoor environments.
