Rittal Steel Enclosures
Rittal steel enclosures are very versatile, able to satisfy the specific requirements of a number of different industries. For instance, Rittal serves process and manufacturing industries (e.g., food and beverage, chemicals, and oil and gas), IT industries (e.g., data centers), industrial machine and plant construction, the rail industry, and all levels of government. All enclosures from these and other fields have to meet certain basic requirements.
Rittal’s steel enclosures can fulfill those requirements in a variety of ways, helping manufacturers choose the right industrial enclosure solution for their unique applications. Rittal steel enclosures are designed for use in harsh environments, easy access, and maintenance. Additionally, they are compatible with international standards, so it is important to check if they require an adapter or converter.
Rittal sets itself apart with its unfailing dedication to flexibility and modularity. To better serve individual industries, Rittal designs its steel cases to be sturdy, easy to customize, even easier to adapt as a business evolves, and a snap to modify when the need arises.
The use of materials in Rittal steel enclosures is of excellent quality. Carbon steel or stainless steel options both result in sturdy, long-lasting enclosures. The finish applied to their enclosures is also part of the total equation, offering more layers of protection against everyday, real-world nemesis that shorten the life of other boxes, and protect sensitive electronic components.

Mounting Electrical Enclosures
Before mounting to any surface, it is important to understand how the hardware will interface with the enclosure. In many cases, the enclosures will have holes at the corners that can be used to attach any mounting hardware. It is common to see a mounting strut, commonly referring to as a Unistrut, being used with these electrical enclosures. The Unistrut can attach to the enclosure and provide a very strong connection point to either a wall, concrete or pole mount.
When mounting to a concrete wall, there are several things that should be considered to ensure it is done correctly. Industrial concrete anchors provide a very strong and reliable connection that can last a very long time. Make sure that the concrete is thick and strong enough for these types of anchors. Once the anchors have been installed, attach them to the mounting strut that is attached to the enclosure using hardware that is designed for that particular type of mounting strut.
When installing an electrical enclosure on a pole or mass, it is important to make sure that the pole can handle the weight of the enclosure. It is recommended that the pole is made of a very strong rigid material. At least two inch rigid galvanized conduit is recommended. Once the pole has been secured into the ground, strut clamps designed for the size of conduit will attach the enclosure.
