Bring proven power equipment into an outdoor environment.
Outdoor equipment has to satisfy the electrical requirement while controlling water, dust, temperature, solar loading, condensation, access, and long-term maintenance.
Gen Power can manufacture weatherproof versions of switchboards and motor control centers for applications where equipment cannot be housed in a conventional indoor plant room. The enclosure, gasketing, ventilation, thermal management, entry points, finish, and internal equipment are considered together.
Our legacy cubicle design has been independently tested for ingress protection, providing a strong basis for equipment configured to the needs of the site.
Outdoor design considerations
Enclosure construction selected around water and dust exposure.
Heat loss, solar gain, ventilation, and cooling considered together.
Internal heating and environmental measures where the application requires them.
Entries, glands, and termination areas coordinated to preserve protection.
Coating and external hardware selected for the service environment.
Doors, covers, clearances, and components arranged for safe field service.
