The industrial metal enclosure is an empty enclosure per IEC 62208 with a back plate for control mounting, electrostatic paint and IP65 options (IEC 60529): dust-tight and protected against water jets. For outdoor or washdown service it is specified by IP rating or its NEMA 250 equivalent type.
The metal electrical enclosure with backplate is an enclosure for protecting and organizing control, automation, switching or auxiliary distribution components in industrial environments. At TECTUL it is quoted by industrial line according to required dimensions, mounting type, backplate, door, lock, electrostatic paint and environmental protection level. Its main function is to house equipment such as contactors, relays, terminal blocks, power supplies, VFDs, circuit breakers or wiring accessories, leaving a rigid base for drilling, fastening and organizing the assembly. It differs from the three-phase distribution panel because it does not necessarily include distribution circuits or defined busbar; and it differs from the main breaker box because it offers greater internal flexibility for control equipment. To select it, review usable space, thermal dissipation, cable entries, exposure to moisture or dust and applicable electrical installation requirements under RETIE and NTC 2050.

| NEMA type | Approx. IP | Environment |
|---|---|---|
| NEMA 4 | IP66 | Water jets, outdoor |
| NEMA 4X | IP66 + corrosion resistance | Corrosive outdoor, chemical washdown |
| NEMA 12 | IP54 | Industrial indoor with dust and drip |
The conversion is valid only from NEMA toward IP and approximately: an IP66 enclosure does not guarantee NEMA 4X compliance because it was not corrosion-tested. Empty enclosures per IEC 62208; IP ratings declared under IEC 60529.
IEC 60529 test reference: IPX5 is verified with a 12.5 L/min jet from a 6.3 mm nozzle and IPX6 with 100 L/min from a 12.5 mm nozzle; the first digit 6 demands total dust-tightness. Typical industrial enclosure sheet thicknesses run 1.2 to 2.0 mm by size (manufacturer catalogs).
It is quoted via WhatsApp according to size, door type, backplate, finish, protection rating, accessories and quantity. TECTUL does not invent or publish a single price.
The enclosure is a housing for mounting equipment according to design. The three-phase panel is already oriented to circuit distribution and may include busbar and space for protective devices.
No. The main breaker box is intended to house the main breaker. The metal enclosure allows several control or automation devices to be mounted on a backplate.
Yes, the lot includes IP65 outdoor options depending on configuration. Seals, cable entries and accessories must be validated to preserve protection.
Indicate desired dimensions, use, equipment to be installed, environment type, cable entries, whether a backplate is required and dispatch city.
The plate is fixed inside the enclosure to receive drilling and components. It is advisable to lay out the distribution first, mark equipment and leave space for raceways and maintenance.
IP65 covers dust and water jets in general industrial service; NEMA 4X adds corrosion testing, needed in saline outdoors, chemical plants or detergent washdown areas.
The removable inner plate where all the control gear is mounted and wired before fixing it into the enclosure: it allows shop assembly and later changes without drilling the enclosure.
