 Recently a customer building a test facility for very large gas compressors advised us that their requirement for terminal boxes now required them to be certified to 600A with multiple 240mm² cables in Zone 1.
This is not your usual day to day enquiry in New Zealand, in fact it is very rare. Our team knew that we have access to the wide range of 316 and 304 Stainless enclosures, but were they certified for such a high current?
The real challenge though was finding Ex e Certified terminals for that cable size and current.
With a bit of digging we discovered that the Stahl 8180 series of terminals could not only handle this size of cable, but were certified for that current rating and could terminate two cables on one side, perfect for the linking required. The enclosures exceeded the current rating requirements and all was well.
Stahl stainless steel enclosures cover a wide range of sizes and can be assembled at Electropar into terminal enclosures, control enclosures (fitted with LED’s, push buttons, switches and other devices) and distribution panels fitted with circuit breakers and isolators.
A recent significant project in Taranaki has seen the supply of a large number of stainless enclosures.
