The EMITER AC hermetic switchgear is a professional-grade electrical protection solution designed for demanding outdoor environments. Featuring an IP65-rated enclosure, this unit provides superior resistance against dust and moisture, ensuring the longevity and safety of your electrical components. It is equipped with high-quality Noark Type 1+2 surge protection, a 20A 3-phase circuit breaker, and a 40A/300mA Type A residual current device (RCD) to manage electrical loads and prevent damage from power surges or leakage currents.
Advantages
This switchgear offers a comprehensive safety package in a single, ready-to-install housing. The inclusion of a Type 1+2 surge protective device provides a dual layer of defense against atmospheric discharges and switching surges, which is critical for sensitive electronics. The Type A RCD ensures reliable detection of both AC and pulsating DC leakage currents, making it highly versatile for modern electrical installations. Its robust IP65 construction eliminates the need for additional protective cabinets, saving space and installation time while maintaining high safety standards.
Suitable for
- Solar panel system AC side protection
- Outdoor electrical equipment installations
- Industrial and residential power distribution in exposed areas
- Protection of heat pumps and EV charging infrastructure
When it may not be suitable
This unit is not designed for environments exceeding its IP65 rating, such as full submersion in water or areas with extreme chemical exposure. It is also not suitable for systems requiring a higher current rating than the 20A circuit breaker or 40A RCD capacity provided.
Key specifications
- Protection rating: IP65
- Surge protection: Noark Type 1+2
- Circuit breaker: 20A 3-phase
- Residual current device: 40A/300mA Type A
How to use
The switchgear should be mounted on a vertical, stable surface using the provided mounting points. Ensure that all cable entries are sealed correctly using appropriate cable glands to maintain the IP65 integrity. Wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes, ensuring that the input and output connections are tightened to the specified torque settings.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 20A circuit breaker rating matches your system load requirements
- Ensure the 300mA RCD sensitivity is appropriate for your specific application
- Check that the installation location is suitable for an IP65-rated enclosure
Usage recommendations
Regularly inspect the surge protection status indicator and test the RCD functionality using the integrated test button at least every six months to ensure continued operational safety.
