The assembly includes top and bottom barrier plates to ensure full-depth separation within the enclosure structure.

Feature Summary

• Provides Type 1 construction compliance when installed in compatible nVent HOFFMAN enclosures
• Minimizes risk of incidental contact or exposure to high voltage hazards
• Includes top and bottom barrier plates for complete internal separation

Applications

• Installation in unibody free-standing enclosures with centerposts
• Installation in floor-mount enclosures with centerposts
• Mitigation of electrical shock risks in industrial control panels
• Reduction of arc flash exposure hazards

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target enclosure utilizes a centerpost configuration, as the A72BP12 is specifically engineered for unibody free-standing or floor-mount units with this structural feature. Confirm compatibility with existing mounting hardware and ensure the painted mild steel finish meets environmental requirements for the installation site. Cross-reference dimensions against the specific enclosure model to guarantee proper fitment.

Selection Notes

Select the A72BP12 when a physical barrier is required to isolate high-voltage components within a centerpost-equipped enclosure. This panel is suitable for applications demanding Type 1 protection standards while maintaining internal compartmentalization. Ensure the enclosure height accommodates the 72-inch panel dimension and verify that the 12-inch width aligns with the available space between structural supports.
