Legrand has extended its range of weatherproof Atlantic-E metal cabinets to include electric orange units manufactured especially for the local market. With a high-quality orange finish associated with power and a warning of danger, they meet local requirements for health and safety, including NOSA’s recommendations for ensuring optimum safety in the workplace.

The cabinets, which have an IP66 index protection rating to guard against dust and water ingress and a material strength of IK10, are designed for installation in diverse industrial and commercial applications where there is no excessive corrosion stress. These environments include warehouses, shopping centres, hospitals, outdoor car parks and camp sites.

Featuring a polyurethane weatherproof seal, the cabinets are supplied ready for use, equipped with galvanised plain mounting plates, a cable entry plate, earth connection braid and mounting lugs to securely fix the cabinet onto a wall or roof, in a horizontal or vertical position. The removable plain plate provides maximum usable space and facilitates easy attachment of equipment. This plate can be replaced by perforated plates or a ready-to-use chassis.

These cabinets can be equipped with cable glands or a Cabstop plate to optimise cable entry and reduce installation time. The cable entries, which consist of a cable clamp to provide the mechanical grip and elastomer areas, have an IP55 index protection rating for enhanced weatherproofing. Fire retardant materials enhance safety of the installation.

The Cabstop plate has a minimum tensile resistance of 15 kg and can withstand temperatures of between -20°C and +65°C. Legrand’s Lina 25 perforated plates are designed to simplify fixing equipment in the cabinet for integration of modular devices. The ready to use, modular chassis is complete with uprights, rails and faceplates. Legrand’s new Viking 3 terminal blocks are easily fitted for effortless wiring.

The Atlantic-E cabinets are fitted with solid reversible doors, with metal hinges for enhanced strength. The doors, which are easily removable, open to 130° for easy access inside the cabinet. A double bar lock facility ensures secure closing and a totally weatherproof seal.

The cabinets are available in 27 different sizes, from 300 x 200 x 150 mm to 1200 x 800 x 300 mm. Accessories include plain and perforated plates, modular chassis, internal doors, locking devices and mounting accessories. These cabinets are also fitted with a lighting kit that includes an 8 W fluorescent tube (Ø16 mm, 230 V / 50 Hz) with a switch and connection on the terminal block.
