Design Features of Outdoor Electrical Cabinets: RB Cabinets
RB cabinets are floor standing, electrical enclosures made from stainless steel and designed to be used outdoors. They are able to withstand the elements 24/7. They are used for housing electrical equipment and come fitted with a wooden backboard for mounting the electricals easily.
Design
Cabinets have an open base, used for feeding cabling and ducting through so that all electrical equipment inside can be connected to the power supply below ground.
Equipment will be kept protected and dry, as the cabinet door is all around with gasket and the door shuts tightly creating a seal that keeps water out of the cabinet.
For the ease of fitting electrical equipment, RB cabinet doors open 180 degrees and can be removed and placed back on very easily if it is needed.
Durability
Available in three different grades of stainless steel, 4003 powder coated, 304 powder coated and natural finish and 316 powder coated and natural finish. 316 grade is recommended for the harshest environments, as it is a marine grade stainless steel for its anti-corrosion properties.
Sizing
The range comes in 6 different sizes to accommodate your electrical equipment, with 4 sizes with single doors and 2 sizes with double doors.
RB Cabinet range organised by the width of the cabinet to make it easier to match the width of the equipment that will fit inside.
An RB460 means that the cabinet is 460mm wide. Same the next size up, RB600 is 600mm wide and so on, until we get to the largest double door RB Cabinet which is the RB1550, which is 1550 mm wide.
All RB cabinets have the same height which is 1125 and different depths as the cabinets increase in size.
