Gewiss GW40103 12 Module IP65 Surface Mount Enclosure
The Gewiss GW40103 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. Its IP65 rating makes it dust-tight and protected against water jets, and IK09 impact resistance suits exposed outdoor locations. A smoked transparent door lets you check breaker positions without opening it, and the smooth-walled grey body 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 298 x 260 x 140 mm (W x H x D) outer size.
- For fewer devices, the 8-module GW40102 is smaller. For sheltered indoor use, the IP55 GW40005 is a lower-cost option.
- Breakers and terminal blocks are not included and are bought separately.

FAQ
How many breakers fit in GW40103?
It takes 12 modules, for example twelve single-pole MCBs or six double-pole devices.
Can I see the breakers without opening the door?
Yes. The door is smoked transparent, so breaker positions are visible from outside.
What is the difference between IP65 and IP55?
IP65 is fully dust-tight, while IP55 is dust-protected. Both resist water jets, so IP65 is the better choice for dusty or exposed outdoor sites.
Can I install it myself?
Fixing the box is simple, but wiring breakers into a fixed circuit should be done by a licensed electrician, especially for DEWA-notifiable work.
