Modular Weatherproof Distribution Box ELEKTROPLAST RH-8 1x8 IP65 (36.8)

ELEKTROPLAST RH-8 1x8 IP65 (36.8) is a modular weatherproof distribution box designed to accommodate a single row of up to eight DIN-rail mounted modules. The enclosure provides IP65 protection against dust and water jets, creating a sealed environment for circuit breakers, residual-current devices and terminal wiring. Its compact footprint and removable cover make it suitable where a secure, weather-resistant junction point is required for residential or light commercial electrical distribution.

Advantages

The RH-8 offers a compact single-row layout that simplifies installation in tight spaces. IP65-rated sealing protects internal components from ingress of dust and splashing water, allowing reliable outdoor or indoor use. The modular design supports standard DIN-rail devices, enabling flexible configuration and straightforward expansion or replacement of protective devices. The enclosure materials are selected for mechanical durability and electrical safety, and the cover provides easy access for maintenance while keeping terminals enclosed during normal operation.

Suitable for

• Small residential distribution panels and garden/outdoor circuits
• Light commercial electrical installations requiring weatherproof protection
• DIN-rail mounted circuit breakers, RCDs and modular protection devices
• Junctions and control points for pumps, lighting and small motors

Key specifications

• Configuration: single row for up to eight modular devices
• Protection rating: IP65 (dust-tight and protected against water jets)
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible interior for modular components
• Construction: sealed plastic enclosure with removable cover
• Suitable locations: indoor and outdoor installations where IP65 is required

How to use

Mount the distribution box on a stable vertical surface using appropriate fasteners and ensure correct orientation for cable entry. Install a DIN rail inside the enclosure if not pre-fitted, then snap-fit the modular protective devices onto the rail within the single row arrangement. Route incoming and outgoing conductors through the designated cable entry points and terminate them on the device terminals in accordance with local wiring regulations. Close and seal the cover to restore IP65 protection before energizing the circuit.

Usage recommendations

Verify that the selected circuit breakers and protective devices are compatible with a single-row, eight-module enclosure and sized according to the electrical load. Use appropriate cable glands or conduit at entry points to maintain the IP65 rating. Periodically inspect seals and fastenings for wear or damage, especially in outdoor or exposed environments.
