APX Enclosures: NEMA 4X Enclosures

January 8, 2025

The NEMA 4X electrical enclosure is a specific type of enclosure that meets the following standards:

  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, including offshore environments
  • Protection from hose-directed and splashing water
  • Protection from dust and rain
  • Resistant to corrosion

The NEMA 4X enclosure can serve indoor or outdoor in telecommunications, utilities, manufacturing, oilfield work and many other industries. It is especially common in environments with food products.

The NEMA 4X rating is superior over NEMA 3R for its:

  • Corrosion resistance: The material of a 4X enclosure will better protect against all kinds of corrosion, including salt spray.
  • Water protection: It can protect the equipment from splashing and hose-directed water.
  • Foreign object protection: The 4X is better able to protect equipment from fine-textured material like windblown dust.

APX Enclosures specializes in making this type of protective device. When you order your NEMA 4X weatherproof enclosure, your product will be NEMA certified, UL listed, non-corrosive, weatherproof, made in the USA and customized to your preferences.

Wieland Electric: Safe and Economical Planning of Electrical Systems

Energy bus systems show their strengths wherever systems have to be supplied with energy over long distances. Whether airports, warehouses or distribution centers – when projects are designed internationally, the planning and, above all, the acceptance of the electrical systems often pose a major challenge for project planners and designers. The effort involved can be greatly simplified if the components used have the appropriate approvals.
