Industry and the Products they use

The following is a list of those industries with the enclosures most commonly used by them.
 

Information Specific to Enclosures
 

Electrical enclosures shown in our web site are designed for industrial electrical applications and as such should be selected, transported, handled, installed, and re-fabricated by qualified professional electricians. These products are not intended for resale or repackaging for household applications or use by the general public. All applications of these products should be in accordance with proper inspections, test approvals, warnings, notices, and instructions as indicated by Consumer Product Safety Regulations and all other applicable local, state, provincial, and federal laws.

The supplied enclosures built to the 3rd party specifications (i.e. UL, CSA) as noted in this web site. We offers no guarantee or warranty as to the applicability of our products outside these specifications. If you have any concerns about the appropriate enclosure selection for your application, please contact EID for advice regarding the variables in your particular situation.

Electrical Enclosures Two Design Styles

The application or use normally decides the style. For example, if frequent opening is required, the new 1/4 turn contemporary design is faster and easier than removing the compression clamps. If the application demands heavy equipment mounted to the doors or large cutouts that weaken the door structure, a heavy duty traditional style is recommended. We offers for sale a variety of both Traditional and Euro/Contemporary designs with various NEMA ratings, material types and features.

- Traditional Design
 

Traditional design is generally heavy duty or severe environment conditions.

- Euro or Contemporary Design
 

Euro/Contemporary design is generally used for appearance, ease of entry or for use with modular accessories.
