Electric enclosure

[Cazamodo]

Just wondering what size enclosures people went for, and what they paid for them?

currently shopping for one to start my electric control panel build. I'm guessing too big is impossible, but whats too small? Im thinking 500x400x200 minimum?

I also have no idea what a good/bad price is.

Cheers

As above that's the type of enclosure you would need.
I personally prefer the pvc ones as the metal ones eventually rust, and badly in a brewery.

& the fun begins again

I`m happy with the SS box I used but it comes at a price of not that straight ward to cut. TCT cutters v qmax

Thanks guys, I think ive found one at a good price. Didn't think of rust though.

If the box is of galvanised steel surely it won't rust, or not as quick.

I may be wrong!

[Cazamodo]

Well, we shall see.

TBH, until it arrives, Ill have no idea if it's any good.

But I got this

At least it will be fairly easy to cut holes in!

Hopefully!

After cutting it I plan to prime and paint it so fingers crossed it will be slightly more rust resistant.
