Elektro-Plast RHp-12 Modular Hermetic Distribution Board, 1 x 12 Modules, IP65

The Elektro-Plast RHp-12 is a professional-grade modular hermetic distribution board engineered for surface mounting in environments where protection against environmental factors is critical. With a capacity of 1 x 12 modules, this enclosure offers a robust solution for housing circuit breakers, residual current devices, and other modular electrical components. Its design ensures that internal electrical connections remain secure and organized, providing a reliable foundation for electrical distribution systems in both residential and industrial settings.

Advantages

This distribution board is distinguished by its high-quality construction and superior ingress protection rating of IP65, which guarantees complete protection against dust ingress and water jets from any direction. The durable housing material is resistant to mechanical impact and environmental stress, ensuring long-term operational safety. Its ergonomic design allows for straightforward installation and easy access to internal components during maintenance, while the transparent door provides quick visual inspection of the status of the installed modular devices without needing to open the enclosure.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical installations in garages, basements, or outdoor areas.
• Industrial facilities requiring protection against dust and moisture.
• Workshops and utility rooms where equipment is exposed to harsh conditions.
• Outdoor lighting control systems and power distribution points.

When it may not be suitable

This unit is designed for surface mounting and may not be appropriate for flush-mounted installations where a low-profile, integrated appearance is required. Additionally, it is not intended for use in environments involving hazardous gases or extreme heat sources that exceed the material's thermal specifications.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 1 x 12 modules
• Ingress protection rating: IP65
• Mounting type: Surface mounted
• Application: Indoor and outdoor use
• Material: High-impact resistant plastic

How to use

The distribution board should be mounted on a flat, stable surface using the provided mounting points. Ensure that the wall or structure can support the weight of the enclosure once fully equipped with modular devices. After securing the base, install the DIN rail and mount the necessary electrical components. Connect the wiring according to local electrical codes, ensuring that all cable entries are properly sealed using appropriate cable glands to maintain the IP65 integrity. Finally, attach the front cover and ensure the door is securely latched to maintain the hermetic seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the number of modules (12) is sufficient for your specific circuit requirements.
• Ensure the mounting surface is suitable for a surface-mounted enclosure.
• Check that the cable entry points are compatible with your existing conduit or cable types.
• Confirm that the IP65 rating meets the environmental requirements of your installation location.

Usage recommendations

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