• Meets Hydro-Québec regulatory requirements
• Constructed from 16/14 gauge steel with polyester powder paint

Applications

• Indoor metering transformer housing
• Instrument assembly installation
• Hydro-Québec compliant metering panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the part number A32N34HQ against official nVent Hoffman documentation to confirm Hydro-Québec compliance status. Ensure the application environment is strictly indoor, as Type 1 ratings do not support outdoor exposure. Confirm that the 16/14 gauge steel construction aligns with structural load requirements for the intended transformer weight.

Selection Notes

Select this model only when Hydro-Québec certification is mandatory for the project. Verify that indoor deployment is feasible, as Type 1 offers no environmental sealing. Compare the 16/14 gauge steel thickness against mechanical stress requirements for mounted instruments. Ensure the ANSI 61 Gray finish matches existing facility standards.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Enclosures line of industrial metal cabinets. It is specifically categorized as a metering cabinet designed for utility-grade installations. The HQ suffix denotes adherence to Hydro-Québec specifications, distinguishing it from standard Type 1 enclosures. It is part of a broader family of electrical protection housings.

Replacement Considerations

No public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific Hydro-Québec compliant model. Standard Type 1 cabinets lack the required regulatory certification. Any replacement must match the Hydro-Québec designation and internal dimensions for transformer compatibility.
