Electrical enclosure Rittal 1613.000, polycarbonate and steel, IP65, 800×155×300 mm

Rittal 1613.000 is a wall-mounted electrical enclosure that combines a polycarbonate front cover with a steel rear section to provide a balance of visibility and mechanical strength. With external dimensions of 800×155×300 mm and an IP65 protection rating, the enclosure is dust-tight and protected against water jets, making it suitable for indoor industrial environments and outdoor installations where splash and wash-down protection are required.

Advantages

The polycarbonate viewing panel enables visual inspection of indicators and displays without opening the cover, while the steel back offers robust support for mounting electrical components and terminal blocks. The IP65 rating ensures reliable protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water exposure. Its slim 155 mm depth and wide 800 mm width allow efficient use of wall space and accommodation of most brands of bus modules and sensors.

How to use

Install the enclosure on a suitably prepared wall using appropriate fasteners and anchors for the mounting surface. Route incoming and outgoing cables through provided entry points or compatible cable glands, and secure internal components to the steel back using standard mounting hardware. Use the polycarbonate viewing panel to monitor status LEDs or displays; open the cover only when power is isolated and service work is required. Maintain the external seals and fasteners to preserve the IP65 degree of protection.

Recommendations

For durable operation, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight if possible and select UV-stable cable glands and grommets for outdoor use. Verify that internal heat-generating components do not exceed ambient temperature limits for the enclosure and provide ventilation or temperature control if necessary.
