Distribution enclosure ELEKTROPLAST Fala RN-16 2x8 surface-mounted IP40 (MPN 7.4)

ELEKTROPLAST Fala RN-16 is a surface-mounted modular distribution enclosure with a 2x8 module layout (16 modules total) and IP40 protection. The enclosure is intended for indoor electrical installations where organized placement of circuit breakers and modular devices is required. Its compact, surface-mounted design allows installation on walls in residential or light-commercial spaces while providing basic protection against solid objects and ensuring safe access to electrical components.

Advantages

The enclosure supports two rows of eight DIN-modules, facilitating clear separation of circuits and orderly wiring. Its IP40 rating offers protection against access to hazardous parts and against large solid foreign objects, which is suitable for standard indoor environments. The surface-mounted format simplifies installation when flush mounting is impractical, and the modular design enables easy addition, replacement or rearrangement of circuit breakers and other DIN-rail devices. Materials and construction provide stable mounting and dependable mechanical protection for installed components.

Suitable for

• Small residential circuit distribution
• Light commercial or office electrical panels
• Retrofit installations where surface mounting is required
• Grouping of lighting, socket and appliance circuits

Key specifications

• Module layout: 2 rows × 8 modules (16 modules total)
• Mounting type: surface-mounted
• Protection class: IP40 (indoor use)
• Intended devices: DIN-rail mounted circuit breakers and modular components
• Application: residential and light-commercial electrical distribution

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a suitable, stable wall surface using appropriate fasteners and observe local electrical installation regulations. Fit DIN-rail devices such as miniature circuit breakers and residual current devices according to their manufacturer instructions and maintain correct spacing for wiring and heat dissipation. Ensure incoming and outgoing cables are routed through designated entry points and secured with appropriate glands or clamps. After wiring, verify all connections are tightened, label circuits as required, and close the cover to restore basic protection.

Usage recommendations

Install the enclosure indoors in a dry, ventilated location away from direct exposure to water or excessive dust. For enhanced safety and compliance, have electrical connections performed or inspected by a qualified electrician and ensure protective devices are selected according to load and local codes. Avoid placing high-heat sources nearby and maintain access for periodic inspection and maintenance.
