Electrical Enclosures

In equipment enclosures that partly or fully rely on battery power this essential resource is often taken for granted. However, not considering enough factors, specifying the wrong type of battery or not housing it properly may severely affect the performance of...

Here at ICEE we like to say, no power, no problem. There are locations in the UK where main grid power is either impossible or too expensive to get. It’s those projects that we absolutely love working on, as our experience, capabilities and in-house resources can...

While we can all agree that electrical enclosures are not the most appealing of objects to look at, they certainly sometimes find themselves in the most beautiful of places. Not long ago, here at ICEE we found ourselves working on a project situated in a National...

While a good amount of sun cream and a beer in your hand might be all you need to push through heatwave, such as last week’s, that reached sweltering 32⁰ C in certain parts of the country, things are not as simple for your electrical enclosures. For those cabinets...

For many end users, an electrical enclosure is simply a box in which they store electrical components and connections, wiring and cables, machinery controls and related equipment. However, when faced with the thousands of options available on the market, it becomes...

From paying contractors to construct the highways works and suppliers for the items needed for your project, such as electrical enclosures through to covering supervision and inspection costs, as well as any costs associated with utility diversions, procurement and...

An electrical enclosure for the highways and motorways sector must be built to withstand a number of conditions, including extreme or adverse weather, accidental or intentional impact, vibration from high-speed traffic, intrusion, and other possible effects. As such,...

When a requirements specification is being written and before an electrical enclosureis constructed, an IP rating must be assigned. This will be determined in accordance with various factors, such as the type of equipment to be protected, the required operating...

The IP rating was developed by the International Electrochemical Comission (IEC) to regulate the performance and safety of electrical enclosures. When choosing an electrical enclosure, whether it is a custom enclosure, a standard one or an electrical cabinet designed...

Originally created to measure the degree of protection provided by an electrical enclosure, the use of Ingress Protection (IP) ratings has significantly expanded over the years and now extends to cover many day-to-day devices, such as computers, tablets, mobile phones...
