At Gieske, we ensure safety, quality, and long-term results with all of our customized sheet metal projects. The same is true for our NEMA-rated electrical enclosures, which often utilize powder-coated steel or galvanized steel.
We provide multiple customization options, leaving endless possibilities for what you need for your organization or project.
So, here is everything you need to know about choosing Gieske to create your next electrical enclosure.
What’s Involved With a Custom Electrical Enclosure?
A custom electrical enclosure is a specially designed and manufactured housing for electrical components, such as circuit boards, wiring, and other sensitive electronics. These enclosures are typically made from sheet metal materials, such as aluminum or steel, and are designed to provide protection from environmental factors, such as dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Custom electrical enclosures are used in a wide range of applications, including industrial control systems, medical devices, and telecommunications equipment.
Electrical Enclosure Design Considerations
When designing a custom electrical enclosure, several factors must be considered to ensure that the enclosure meets the specific needs of the application. These factors include:
- Size and Shape: The enclosure must be large enough to accommodate the electrical components but small enough to fit in the available space.
- Material Selection: The choice of material will depend on the environmental conditions in which the enclosure will be used. For example, powder-coated steel is a popular choice for outdoor applications due to its corrosion resistance.
- Cooling and Ventilation: The enclosure must be designed to allow for adequate cooling and ventilation to prevent overheating of the electrical components.
- Accessibility: The enclosure must be designed to allow for easy access to the electrical components for maintenance and repair.
- Aesthetics: The enclosure must be designed to meet the desired appearance and style of the application.
Custom NEMA-Rated Electrical Enclosures
We understand what it takes to create a National Electrical Manufacturers Association-rated electrical enclosure. When setting up your next project, you want it to be exact to your sizing, look, and rating needs to ensure safety and fit. So, we ensure every specification meets your standards.
At Gieske, we provide multiple types of electrical enclosure ratings to help you achieve what you need. Type One includes indoor while providing basic protection against dust. Then, Type Two provides indoor use and protection against dust and possible drips. Lastly, we provide a Type Three rating that includes indoor and outdoor use as well as rain-tight protection against exterior elements. No matter what you need for your electrical enclosure, we can fabricate it.
Wireway Solutions for Electrical Enclosures
We offer multiple different types of wireways, ensuring that whichever type you need can be implemented in your enclosure. We cover indoor, dust-tight, corrosion-resistant, water-tight, and ice-shield wireways. All of these can be combined and customized to your specific needs.
Sheet Metal Modifications to Fit the Project
While we can create and customize brand-new electrical enclosures, we can also modify your current electrical enclosures to better suit the needs of their location and usage.
We can modify your current electrical enclosure with cut-outs, holes, tapped holes, mounting points, mounted routing accessories, and size adjustments. On top of that, we can help to replace or add additional units to match your existing electrical enclosures with ease.
The possibilities that Gieske can offer for your electrical enclosures are endless. If you have adjustments you wish to make, want to design a brand new electrical enclosure, or simply have questions, contact the team at Gieske.
