ABB Mistral65 1x18 Surface Mounted Hermetic Distribution Board, 18 Modules, IP65, Transparent Door

The ABB Mistral65 1x18 is a professional-grade surface-mounted hermetic distribution board engineered for robust electrical installations. This enclosure provides a secure housing for up to 18 modular devices, ensuring organized and safe circuit management. With its high IP65 ingress protection rating, the unit is fully protected against dust ingress and water jets, making it a reliable solution for both indoor and outdoor environments where environmental conditions are challenging.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this distribution board is its exceptional durability and resistance to harsh conditions, which is guaranteed by the IP65 rating. The design facilitates quick and efficient installation on various wall surfaces, saving time during the assembly process. The inclusion of a transparent door allows for immediate visual inspection of the status of circuit breakers and other installed components without the need to open the enclosure, thereby maintaining safety and convenience. Furthermore, the high-quality materials used in the construction of the ABB Mistral65 ensure long-term reliability and protection for sensitive electrical equipment.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical installations in garages or basements
• Industrial workshops and manufacturing facilities
• Outdoor areas requiring protection against moisture and dust
• Commercial buildings where modular circuit protection is necessary

When it may not be suitable

This distribution board is not intended for flush-mounted installations, as it is specifically designed for surface mounting. Additionally, it may not be suitable for environments requiring higher impact resistance ratings or specialized fire-rated enclosures.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 18 modules
• Mounting type: Surface mounted
• Ingress protection: IP65
• Door type: Transparent
• Application: Hermetic electrical distribution

How to use

The distribution board should be mounted on a flat, stable surface using appropriate hardware. Once secured, the modular devices are snapped onto the integrated DIN rail. Ensure that all cable entries are sealed correctly using appropriate cable glands to maintain the IP65 integrity. After wiring, the transparent door can be closed to protect the components from external elements while allowing for easy monitoring.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the wall surface is suitable for supporting the weight of the loaded enclosure
• Verify that the number of modules required for your project does not exceed 18
• Check that the dimensions of the installation area allow for the surface-mounted profile

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the installation is performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. Regularly inspect the seals and the door closure to maintain the IP65 protection level over time.
