A36R3610HCR

Overview

The Hoffman A36R3610HCR is a medium-sized, hinged-cover electrical enclosure constructed from galvanized steel with a polyester powder-coated finish in ANSI 61 Gray. It measures 36 inches in height, 36 inches in width, and 10 inches in depth. The unit holds NEMA Type 3R and IP24 ratings for outdoor protection against rain and sleet. It features UL 50/50E and CUL certifications, ensuring compliance with safety standards for industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• Seam-free sides, front, and back design to protect internal components from environmental elements like rain and snow
• Galvanized steel construction with continuous hinge and stainless steel pins for durability
• Secure cover fastening system utilizing draw-pull catches

Applications

• Outdoor wiring protection
• Protection of electrical components in harsh weather conditions
• Industrial equipment housing requiring NEMA 3R rating

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific gauge thickness (16/14 gauge) and certification marks (UL/CUL) against official datasheets before procurement. Confirm dimensional accuracy for mounting requirements. Ensure the ANSI 61 Gray color matches existing infrastructure specifications. Check for any regional shipping restrictions due to weight or size limitations associated with this heavy-duty steel enclosure.

Selection Notes

Select this model when outdoor protection against dripping water and sleet is required without full submersion resistance. The 36x36x10 inch dimensions provide substantial internal volume for complex wiring assemblies. The galvanized steel material offers corrosion resistance suitable for general outdoor industrial use. Consider the hinged cover design for frequent access needs compared to removable panel alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman Medium Drip-Shield series, designed specifically for outdoor electrical applications. It represents a standard solution for protecting low-voltage and power distribution systems from environmental degradation. The product line emphasizes robust steel construction and reliable sealing mechanisms to maintain integrity in exposed locations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include models with identical NEMA 3R ratings and similar internal volumes. Verify that replacement units maintain the same hinge mechanism type and catch security features. Ensure compatibility with existing knockout patterns if pre-drilled entry points are utilized.
