Modular surface-mounted distribution enclosure Eti-Polam ECT 2x18PT-s IP40 transparent — 2 x 18 modules

Eti-Polam ECT 2x18PT-s is a modular surface-mounted distribution enclosure with a transparent cover and IP40 protection rating. Designed to accommodate two rows of up to 18 DIN-modules each (total 36 modules), this enclosure allows organized placement of miniature circuit breakers, RCDs and terminal blocks for residential and light commercial electrical installations. Surface mounting permits installation on walls where visual inspection of module positions is required without opening the cover.

Advantages

The transparent cover enables quick visual checks of indicator lights and module positions while maintaining protection against solid objects and accidental contact consistent with IP40. The modular layout supports standard DIN-rail components, simplifying wiring and future expansion. A robust housing provides mechanical protection for mounted devices and neat cable entry, reducing installation time and improving panel organization.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards requiring visual access to breakers and indicators
• Small commercial or office installations with modular DIN-rail devices
• Upgrades or extensions where surface-mounted enclosures are preferred over recessed panels
• Environments where quick visual inspection of installed modules is beneficial

Key specifications

• Configuration: 2 rows × 18 module positions (36 modules total)
• Cover type: transparent
• Protection rating: IP40
• Mounting: surface-mounted (wall)
• Compatibility: standard DIN-rail modular devices (miniature breakers, RCDs, terminal blocks)
• Material: durable insulating plastic housing suitable for indoor electrical installations

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a flat vertical surface using appropriate fasteners for the substrate. Install the DIN rails inside the housing and snap-fit standard modular devices in the desired positions across the two rows. Route supply and load conductors through the designated cable entry points, secure wiring to terminal blocks and tighten all connections to the recommended torque values of the installed devices. Close the transparent cover to allow visual inspection and to maintain the IP40 degree of protection.

Usage recommendations

Install the enclosure in a dry, indoor location away from direct heat sources and aggressive chemicals. Verify clearances for heat dissipation around high-current devices and leave space for future module expansion. Ensure all electrical work complies with local standards and is performed by a qualified electrician.
