Modular Surface-Mounted Distribution Box ELEKTROPLAST RH-36/3 3x12, IP65 (MPN 36.143)

ELEKTROPLAST RH-36/3 is a modular surface-mounted distribution box designed for three rows of twelve modules each (3x12). With an IP65 rating, the enclosure provides dust-tight and water-resistant protection for DIN-rail mounted devices and circuit breakers, making it appropriate for installations that require a weatherproof and secure electrical distribution point. The box includes knockout entries and built-in mounting provisions to simplify surface mounting on walls and panels.

Advantages

The RH-36/3 enclosure offers robust environmental protection with an IP65 classification, preventing dust ingress and resisting water jets. Its modular layout supports flexible configuration of breakers and accessories across three rows. Surface-mounted construction reduces the need for recessed installation, while preformed knockout entries and mounting points speed up on-site assembly and reduce installation time.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution and sub-panels
• Commercial premises and retail spaces
• Light industrial and workshop environments requiring splash protection
• Outdoor or semi-outdoor installations under shelter where a weatherproof enclosure is needed

Key specifications

• Configuration: modular, 3 rows × 12 modules
• Mounting: surface-mounted enclosure
• Ingress protection: IP65 (dust-tight, water jets resistant)
• Compatibility: DIN-rail mounting for circuit breakers and modular devices
• Access: removable front cover for device installation and maintenance
• Installation features: knockout entries and integrated mounting provisions
• Construction: durable material suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor use

How to use

Prepare the mounting surface ensuring it is level and capable of bearing the enclosure weight with devices installed. Mark and drill mounting points using the integrated mounting provisions, then fix the box to the surface with appropriate fasteners. Install DIN-rail mounted devices into the three rows according to the electrical design and local wiring regulations. Use the provided knockout entries to create cable entries and ensure proper sealing around conductors to maintain IP65 protection. After wiring and testing, replace the front cover and secure it to preserve environmental protection.

Usage recommendations

Follow local electrical codes and standards during installation. Use suitably rated circuit breakers and accessories compatible with DIN-rail mounting. Ensure cable glands or suitable sealing methods are applied where cables enter the enclosure to maintain IP65 performance. For outdoor exposures not fully sheltered, consider additional UV-resistant protection and periodic inspection to verify seals and fastenings remain intact.
