POLL-DISCUSSION - How Familiar Are You in Modifying An Electrical Enclosure?

rscasny
rscasny over 2 years ago

Electrical/Electronics enclosures often are modified for a particular installation. Sometimes, the engineer will do the modification, yet other times he/she will request a third party service provider or an enclosure manufacturer to perform the modifications. 

Here is a typical list of enclosure modifications:

  • Holes
  • Cutouts
  • knock outs
  • Tapping and Countersinking
  • Pressed-in hardware (studs, standoffs)
  • Silk Screening
  • UV Printing
  • Special colors
  • Special length extrusions
  • Pre-Installed Accessories
  • Special Paint Colors
  • Non-Standard Sizes
  • Louvers
  • Alternate Handles
  • Add, Move or Delete Studs
  • Hinge Changes
  • Mounting Struts
  • Dimension Changes
  • Stiffeners
  • Windows
  • Shelves
  • Climate Control

    Back in my early days, we had to do this type of modification all of the time. I would pick up a metal box and then drill and punch the appropriate holes, insert the fasteners and wire things up.

    This is not something I do often, the experts at work would tell me “stay in your lane, bro”, but sometimes you’re at a remote site and fixes have to be done.

    I do as much as I can while building alpha version panels and/or test panels.  Production or mod shop work , the techs prefer to help me , and I like it that way - they have more practice and do a better job than I do.
