  • 5 Options for Controlling Temperature in Sealed Electrical Enclosures
    . Once the decision to use a sealed enclosure is made, it naturally follows that enclosure temperature control is required to ensure the temperature inside the enclosure doesn't rise above the equipment's safe working temperature.
  • The Consequences of Neglecting Electrical Enclosure Temperature Control
    Electrical equipment manufacturers generally recommend enclosure temperatures be kept below 95 degrees F. Active cooling maintains the electrical components at constant operating temperature, providing a longer and more reliable life span. A crucial first step in determining whether a temperature
  • Application #1: Instrument Enclosure Thermostatic Temperature Control
    Instruments/analyzers installed out-of-doors are exposed to adverse conditions and are customarily enclosed in insulated boxes to protect them from physical and weather damage. Many installations require a certain inside temperature be maintained to prevent freezing, control viscosity
  • 5 Keys to Protecting an Industrial Control Panel Enclosure
    When assessing what kind of protection is needed for an industrial control panel enclosure, there are five key factors to consider. These are ambient temperature, humidity, pollution, weather and dust. Once the effects of these factors are adequately assessed, it's a relatively simple task
  • Guide to Protecting Electrical Enclosures
    space and allow for more efficient automation but leave very little room for heat dissipation and air flow circulation. This contributes to higher internal enclosure temperatures which can ultimately lead to electronic overheating, control failures, and system shutdowns.
  • Your Guide to Understanding NEMA Ratings and Enclosure Types
    In 1926, the National Electric Manufacturers Association (NEMA) established a set of guidelines that determined electric equipment safety standards --including control panel enclosures. These enclosures protect against various hazards that may damage a temperature control panel or make it a hazard
  • Instrument Temperature Control
    Instrument enclosures are commonly used to protect instrumentation against adverse weather conditions or physical damage and to ensure that the instrument operates at the temperature However, enclosures may not always provide sufficient protection against the temperature extremes that can affect
  • Detecting Air Leaks in Low Emissivity Enclosures
    procedures. Such tests require the enclosed and isolated environment to be totally controllable for temperature, pressure, moisture, and other proximal qualities. Leaks in the test cell will introduce unknown quantities of various factors such as gases, vapors, and other contaminants that prevent
  • 4 Enclosure Cooling Methods that Prevent Plant Shut-Down
    In industrial facilities, electronic equipment is frequently used for motor control and most machines are PLC controlled. This use of electronic equipment has increased electrical enclosure heat loads because of the high heat dissipation characteristics of electronic equipment. At the same time
  • What You Need to Know About Cooling Control Panel Enclosures
    Control panels are designed to house and protect electrical components for powering and controlling industrial, HVAC, and other equipment. Industrial control panels may include PLCs, VFDs, contactors, fuses, switches, transformers, timers, and other components, each of which operates within
  • Sensing and Controlling Humidity
    In the energy control business it is usually necessary to monitor humidity, as well as temperature. Sensing humidity cannot be done as easily or as accurately as temperature sensing. For example, a temperature sensor in outside air will provide dependable service for the life of the mechanical
  • 6 Enclosure Cooling Considerations for Large Electrical Machines
    A large machine includes any machinery that is physically large, complex, and operates as a standalone machine or integrated into a production line. Examples include cement kilns, paper making machines, heavy presses, and manufacturing machinery. To ensure reliable operation, electrical control
