April 2005 IS & Ex

Elen Enclosures manufacture standard 8-, 12, 24- and 36-pair junction boxes with IP 66 rating and E Ex e II or Ex i certification. Other configurations to customer specifications can of course be produced, tested and certified.

The junction boxes comprise of the wellknown SAREL 'Thalassa' polyester enclosures with wall mounting brackets, galvanised chassis plate populated with cable trunking, earth bar and either Ex e or Ex i terminals to customer specification. The enclosure is fitted with either drilled (Ex i), or drilled and tapped (Ex e) internal gland plate and a brass earth stud. Cable gland holes are sealed with Ex-approved plugs. Ex-certification is by government approved test houses.

Due to excellent sealing and high resistance to UV radiation, weathering, corrosion and chemical attack the junction boxes have proved themselves in literally hundreds of applications in a wide variety of industries and most difficult industrial environments and have been specified in a number of industries. Elen can also manufacture non-certified junction boxes and marshalling cubicles in any of their other ranges of enclosures.
