The unit features a standard hinge and lacks a latch mechanism. It is designed to split feeder circuit conductors into multiple branch circuit conductors and includes pre-installed terminals. The enclosure supports an amperage rating of 55/85 A.

Feature Summary

• Facilitates the splitting of feeder circuit conductors into multiple branch circuits
• Includes pre-installed terminal blocks for immediate connection
• Constructed from painted steel with a standard hinge design

Applications

• Indoor electrical distribution systems requiring conductor splitting
• Splitting feeder circuits into multiple branch circuits
• Industrial control panels utilizing Type 1 protection standards

Procurement Notes

Verify that the application environment is strictly indoor, as this unit is rated Type 1 and lacks weatherproofing seals. Confirm that the required amperage does not exceed the 55/85 A rating. Ensure the installation site accommodates the 24x6x4.5 inch dimensions. Check if the absence of a latch meets security requirements. Validate compatibility with existing conduit entries.

Selection Notes

Select this model when indoor conductor splitting is required without the need for external locking mechanisms. The painted steel construction provides basic environmental protection suitable for controlled indoor areas. Consider the standard hinge configuration for access needs. This unit is appropriate for applications where pre-installed terminals simplify wiring tasks.
