A543214CTLAE

Overview

The Hoffman A543214CTLAE is a Quick-Release Hinge-Cover enclosure designed for outdoor instrument protection. Constructed from mild steel with a gray finish, it measures 54 inches in height, 32 inches in width, and 14 inches in depth. The unit features a 12-gauge white painted steel panel and carries a NEMA 3R rating for environmental resistance. It includes provisions for padlocking on the draw-pull catch and utilizes a welded hinge and pin assembly to ensure the door remains non-removable during operation.

Feature Summary

• Provides secure outdoor protection for instrument current transformers used in watt-hour metering applications
• Features a welded hinge and pin mechanism ensuring the door remains non-removable for enhanced security
• Includes provisions for padlocking on the draw-pull catch to prevent unauthorized access

Applications

• Protection of instrument current transformers for watt-hour metering
• Outdoor installation requiring NEMA 3R environmental ratings
• Secure housing for electrical instrumentation in utility or industrial settings

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific dimensional requirements against the 54x32x14 inch specification before ordering. Confirm that the NEMA 3R rating aligns with the intended environmental exposure conditions. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting structures due to the fixed welded hinge design which prevents door removal. Check for any site-specific security requirements regarding the padlock provision on the draw-pull catch.

Selection Notes

Select this model when permanent attachment of the cover is required due to the non-removable welded hinge design. The NEMA 3R rating makes it suitable for outdoor use where rain and wind-driven dust are concerns. Consider the 12-gauge steel construction for durability in harsh environments. This unit is specifically optimized for metering applications rather than general-purpose equipment housing.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Louisiana Energy Cabinet series, which specializes in enclosures for metering infrastructure. The Quick-Release Hinge-Cover design allows for access while maintaining structural integrity through the welded hinge system. It is part of a broader range of steel enclosures offered by nVent Hoffman for utility and industrial applications.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific configuration. Replacement requires matching the 54x32x14 dimensions, NEMA 3R rating, and welded hinge security feature.
