Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors


Extensive cabinet range offers flexibility

October 2009 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

Elen Enclosures offers one of the largest ranges of standard suite cabinets available: the Sarel Series 6000 which comprises 62 basic sizes ranging from 1200 mm to 2200 mm high, 300 mm to 1600 mm wide and 400 mm to 800 mm deep industrial cabinets. The modular design of the range allows further expansion of possible sizes and combinations. The cabinets can easily and quickly be combined into suites and can also be joined ‘back-to-back’. They can be supplied with lockable front and rear doors with or without safety glass windows or with fixed rear cover.

An extensive range of accessories, such as fixed and swing type 19” rack frames (full or partial), distribution board conversion kits, fixed and telescopic shelves, control desk and keyboard attachments, compartments and partial doors, busbar chambers and systems, steel, perforated or DIN-rail chassis systems, etc, is available.

The extendable construction comprises four uprights (highly rigid triangular profiles) linked to welded top and bottom frames. Both uprights and frames are perforated on a 25 mm pitch for fixing of accessories and cabinet joining brackets. Standard cladding comprises 1,5 mm thick steel doors with reinforcing frames and/or 1,5 mm thick rear cover. Versions with 2 mm thick doors are available. Plinths are either modular or monoblock and cable gland plates are available either full or 2- and 3-part, ie, for applications where back-to-back chassis are used within one cabinet – typically in PLC/DCS systems where the control is installed in front of the cabinet and marshalling at the rear.

Locking systems, hinges and side/rear cover fittings are all outside the protected area further eliminating the risk of ingress of dust and liquids into the cabinets. Cladding (doors, side, rear and top covers) are provided with joint-less, injected type foam gaskets. Rating is IP 55 (low pressure hose water-proof and dust-proof); IK-10.
