Electrical Enclosures

Ritherdon stainless steel, electrical enclosures are designed and manufactured to a high standard to protect electrical and/or electronic components (19 inch rack assemblies can be incorporated) from the extremes of European weather (and further afield) for a very long time.  You will see many of our enclosures in roadside applications around the UK (look for our oval logo), from traffic-signal power supplies to traffic counting and CCTV sites, they are also used in a wide variety of other industries from utilities to telecommunications.

We'll add more case studies to the website soon; but recent, interesting applications (all of which needed a long-lasting, high-quality enclosure) include the following:

• Renewable energy projects - 70 off Ritherdon R620 enclosures used on a solar power site in the South West.
• R620 enclosures housing oil well blow-out gas detection equipment (solar powered) for the petroleum industry in Saudi Arabia.
• 20 off RB800 enclosures for the electric car-charging scheme in Newcastle.

Features and benefits of our stainless steel enclosures

Highly resistant to corrosion	Much longer life, giving you a lower total cost of ownership and reducing the carbon footprint of production and installation.
	Remain aesthetically pleasing - no rust.
	Removes the environmental impact of the galvanizing process.
Closer manufacturing tolerances	Better sealing against the weather and dust.
	Better-looking products (they might 'only be enclosures', but we think it matters!).
Powder coated (when required)	A much smoother finish than with galvanized products (including a broad choice of colours to suit the surroundings).
Thinner gauge metal possible*	Enclosures are lighter, making for easier and safer handling during installation, while maintaining integrity after minor collisions (see our pillar strength test).

*There is no need to add extra thickness purely to withstand the galvanizing process.

Design features

Fabrication

• The electrical enclosures are manufactured from 2.0 mm stainless steel, designed with a smooth external casing (minimal edges and joints) to ensure the maximum service life.
• Hinged doors: virtually full height, allowing better access, sealed with a neoprene gasket.
• Double door enclosures have no centre-channel, with the doors sealing against each other.
• Access for cable ducting is provided in the base.
• Earth bonding of the door to the body (two M6 studs complete with nuts and washers) as standard.

Installation

The cabinets can be bolted down onto a suitably flat, hard surface, or attached to a buried plinth that can be ordered separately (see options on products pages).

Backboard

• All pillars are supplied with a full-width, external-grade plywood backboard for the fitting of electrical termination equipment.
• Alternative materials for the backboard can be included on request.

Security fixings

Doors are supplied with tri-key camlocks as standard.  Alternatives include:

• pin-hex camlocks,
• key-operated camlocks,
• lockable ‘L’ or ‘T’ handles,
• stainless steel Allen screws, 25 mm long,
• pin-hex dome headed screw, for extra security,
• hasp and staple arrangements.

Electrical supply and fitting service

• Ritherdon and Company is able to provide a supply and fitting service for the electrical termination equipment. This service can include pre-wiring (wiring team).
• Pre-punched termination-rails can be supplied and fitted across the top of the root for terminating incoming cables.
