Electrical enclosure Rittal 1511.000 Steel IP66, 400×400×120 mm

Rittal 1511.000 is a steel electrical enclosure with IP66 protection and compact external dimensions of 400×400×120 mm. Built to provide dust-tight sealing and strong resistance to water jets, this single-piece enclosure is suitable for mounting indoors or outdoors where robust environmental protection is required. The enclosure is designed to house control components, terminal blocks and small switchgear assemblies while offering a simple, flexible interior arrangement thanks to the absence of a pre-fitted gland plate.

Advantages

The steel construction delivers mechanical strength and electromagnetic screening appropriate for control and distribution applications. IP66 rating ensures complete dust ingress protection and resistance to heavy water jets, enabling reliable operation in exposed environments. The enclosure’s compact footprint and shallow depth make it suitable for installations with limited space while still accommodating terminal and small component assemblies. Supplied as a single piece, it simplifies handling and installation.

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a suitable flat surface using appropriate fasteners for the installation substrate. Open the enclosure and install mounting plates, DIN rails or internal panels as required for terminals and control components. Cable entries should be made through properly sealed glands or conduit fittings since the enclosure is supplied without a gland plate; ensure that any entry points are sealed to maintain IP66 protection. Route and secure wiring, fit terminal blocks and small switchgear, then close and fasten the lid to restore the enclosure’s protective rating.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term protection, use cable glands and seals rated for IP66 and compatible with the enclosure material. Avoid corrosive chemicals at mounting locations and perform periodic inspections of seals and fasteners, especially after mechanical work or exposure to high-pressure cleaning.
