PVC Cabinet
The PVC Cabinet is an electrically insulated freestanding feeder pillar with no conductive pathways from the inside to the outside of the enclosure.
The Ritherdon PVC Cabinet is suitable for sites where two different earthing systems are within touching distance or other situations where secondary insulation is required. The Cabinet itself provides a layer of supplementary insulation in a Class II, E construction installation (BS2754-1976+A1-1977).
The PVC Cabinet has a reinforced structural subframe with integral lifting points, meaning that it can be safely lifted into place, fully populated, with a safe lifting load of over 500 kg.
A sustainable choice with well established recycling routes for PVC.
Key Features:
- Max Voltage – Suitable for use in Low Voltage installations (<1000V).
- Electrical Insulation – PVC provides excellent electrical insulation, reducing the risk of electrical hazards.
- Dielectric Constant – PVC 4.0εr.
- Dielectric Strength – PVC Min: 10 kV/mm Max: 30 kV/mm.
- Constructed from both recycled and virgin PVC.
- Well established recycling routes for all components of the Cabinet.
- IP54 Rating – The enclosure is protected from limited dust ingress and water spray from any direction.
- Corrosion Resistance – PVC is resistant to a wide range of chemicals such as acids, alkalis, salts, fuel oils and lubricants.
- Low Maintenance – PVC does not require sealing, painting or regular maintenance.
- Safety – PVC is class I fire resistant and self extinguishing. The highest fire rating in BS 476-1.
- Cable Entry – All models are open in the base for cable entry. The base must be sealed against water/damp ingress.
- Lock – Multi-point locking system with key operated dead lock.
- Plywood Backboard – 18mm backboard. Optional Sideboard. Made with FSC-certified plywood for quality and sustainability.
- Foundation – Cabinet has an optional matching plinth.
- Lifting Rails – Detachable lifting rails with safe lifting load of over 500 kg. Allowing heavy electrical equipment to be installed prior delivery.
The Ritherdon PVC Cabinet is an external electrical enclosure designed to house electrical and electronic equipment shielding them against the elements, ensuring durability and protection in outdoor environments.
From its inception, this PVC Enclosure has been designed with sustainability, safety, and practicality in mind, making it an ideal choice for housing electrical and electronic equipment outdoors.
