Economical, high-quality enclosures

August 2003 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors Access Control & Identity Management

Elen Enclosures is offering the Himel Series CRN steel enclosures. The CRN is a 'no frills' economy range of enclosures suited for any 'run of the mill' application (motor starters, terminal boxes, etc).

The enclosures are made from a continuous length of sheet steel with rear wall welded to the frame and gutter-profiled front. The front door is fitted with a continuous in situ moulded foam gasket, double bar or square locks with non-metallic cams, concealed hinges, two perforated reinforcing profiles, which also allow fitting of equipment and accessories.

Earthing continuity between enclosure body, door and chassis plate is facilitated by copper plated earth studs M6. Large gland plates provide space for high-density installations. The enclosures are treated with iron phosphate and chromate passivated prior to electrostatic coating with epoxy modified structural polyester powder finish (RAL 7032 grey or RAL 2000 electric orange). This treatment results in excellent paint adhesion and provides a very good protection against corrosion. The continuous foamed gasket and gutter profiling provide an IP 55 degree of protection. The CRN series is currently stocked in eight sizes ranging from 350 x 250 x 150 to 800 x 600 x 250 mm.
