Enclosure Backplates & Panels
Enclosure backplates and panels are offset from the back of the enclosure allowing electrical devices to be mounted without compromising the integrity or NEMA rating of the enclosure. Most back panels come with pre-cut holes to match the mounting holes in the enclosure. These interior panels can also be removed or replaced, allowing the components to be easily worked on, without uninstalling the entire electrical cabinet. Back panels are made of steel, fiberglass, aluminum, wood, galvanized steel, painted steel, as well as composite materials.
Enclosure swing out panels can be mounted near the front of the enclosure for easy access to switches, gauges, pilot lights and other components that need to read or adjusted.
Enclosure gland plates are panels with a gasket. Gland plates provide a removable cable entry and egress, while still maintaining the NEMA rating of the enclosure they are designed for. In some instances, gland plates may be easier to drill or punch than the enclosure wall, and when used properly, may retain NEMA certifications that could be lost if done in the enclosure wall. Gland plates may be used to completely cover cutouts from additions, such as an air conditioner, that are no longer attached, or cover gaps created installing new external equipment that has a smaller connecting footprint.
