Gewiss GW40005 12 Module IP55 Surface Mount Enclosure
The Gewiss GW40005 is a 12-module surface-mounted enclosure from the 40 CD range. It houses DIN-rail (EN 50022) modular devices such as MCBs, RCDs and isolators, and its IP55 rating protects against dust and water jets. The door locks with the two triangular keys supplied, the walls have knockout perforation centres for cable entry, and the enclosure is pre-arranged to take a terminal block.
Is this the right one for me?
- Choose it to house up to 12 single-module devices (a double-pole breaker uses 2 modules, a 4-pole device uses 4).
- Check that your wall space suits the 250 x 250 x 135 mm (W x H x D) outer size.
- For more devices, step up to the 24-module GW40007. For harsher outdoor exposure, consider the IP65 GW40103.
- Breakers and terminal blocks are not included and are bought separately.
