SW1LGLWH

Overview

The Hoffman Enclosures SW1LGLWH is a wall-mount solar shield designed for outdoor electrical enclosures. It measures 24.00 inches by 24.00 inches with a depth of 12.75 inches. Constructed from mild steel, the unit features a galvanized and powder-coated white finish to resist corrosion and weathering. Rated for Type 4 and Type 12 environments, it provides essential protection against overheating caused by direct sunlight, as well as shielding from rain and snow.

Feature Summary

• Shields outdoor enclosures from overheating due to solar radiation
• Provides weather protection against sun, rain, and snow exposure
• Constructed from mild steel with a durable galvanized and powder-coated white finish

Applications

• Protection for outdoor electrical enclosures in harsh weather conditions
• Mitigation of enclosure overheating in high-solar-exposure environments
• Installation on wall-mounted equipment requiring Type 4 and Type 12 compliance

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target enclosure dimensions are compatible with the 24x24 inch shield footprint. Confirm that the mounting surface supports the weight of the steel assembly. Ensure the installation location allows for adequate airflow behind the shield to maintain thermal performance. Check local environmental codes regarding Type 4 and Type 12 ratings for your specific application requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when outdoor enclosures require passive cooling via shading rather than active ventilation. The galvanized and powder-coated finish offers superior corrosion resistance compared to unpainted steel. This shield is suitable for applications where maintaining internal temperature stability is critical without adding power-consuming components. Ensure the base enclosure meets the necessary ingress protection standards to complement the shield's weather resistance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Solar Shield family, which includes various sizes and configurations for different enclosure dimensions. These shields are engineered to extend the operational life of electrical equipment by reducing thermal stress. The product line is widely used in industrial and utility sectors where outdoor equipment is exposed to direct sunlight and precipitation.
