Electrical enclosure Rittal 1539.000, steel cabinet IP55, 400×400×120 mm

Rittal 1539.000 is a compact steel electrical enclosure with IP55 protection, sized 400×400×120 mm for wall-mounted installation. The enclosure is intended for housing control and distribution components such as terminal blocks, small PLCs, switches and wiring. Its construction provides protection against dust and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor locations. The enclosure includes a gland plate that enables tidy cable entry and flexible interior arrangement, optimising use of the available space.

Advantages

The steel construction offers mechanical strength and long service life while maintaining a compact footprint. IP55-rated protection prevents dust ingress and protects internal equipment from splash and spray, reducing the risk of short circuits or component damage. The gland plate simplifies cable routing and entry, and the wall-mount design allows fast and secure installation close to the point of use. The plain internal space is ready for mounting of terminal rails or small control devices, enabling efficient layout and maintenance access.

How to use

Mount the enclosure to a suitable vertical surface using appropriate fasteners for the wall material and load. Remove the gland plate to route cables and wiring as required, then reinstall or seal the plate after wiring to restore IP55 protection. Install terminal rails, small PLCs or other components inside the cabinet using compatible mounting hardware and secure all electrical connections according to applicable standards. Ensure that sealing surfaces and gaskets are clean and intact before closing the door to maintain protection rating.

Recommendations

For best performance, install the enclosure in a sheltered location away from direct water exposure and corrosive atmospheres. Use appropriate cable glands and cable management to preserve IP55 protection. Verify compatibility of internal components with the cabinet dimensions and provide adequate ventilation or heat management if fitted equipment generates significant heat.
