Surface-mounted switchgear Eti-Polam ECH-8G 8 modules IP65 hermetic

The Eti-Polam ECH-8G surface-mounted switchgear is a compact enclosure designed to accommodate up to eight DIN-modular devices. Constructed with an IP65 hermetic rating, the housing protects installed circuit breakers, residual-current devices and terminal blocks from dust and water, making it suitable for wall-mounted installations in environments that require moisture resistance. The enclosure integrates a lid and mounting features that facilitate safe and tidy placement of protective and switching components for residential, commercial or light-industrial electrical circuits.

Advantages

The IP65 hermetic design ensures ingress protection against dust and low-pressure water jets, extending the lifespan of installed devices in damp or exposed locations. The housing is optimized for eight DIN modules, offering a compact footprint while allowing standard modular components to be fitted without modification. Surface mounting simplifies installation on walls where recessed wiring is impractical, and the enclosure’s construction supports straightforward cable entry and internal mounting of terminal blocks and protective devices.

Suitable for

• Housing miniature circuit breakers and residual-current devices in small distribution circuits
• Wall-mounted electrical distribution in garages, workshops and utility rooms
• Locations where dust and occasional water exposure require IP65 protection
• Retrofit installations where surface mounting is preferred over recessed boxes

Key specifications

• Capacity: room for 8 DIN modules
• Protection rating: IP65 hermetic enclosure
• Mounting type: surface-mounted, wall installation
• Compatibility: standard DIN-rail modular circuit protection devices and terminal blocks
• Typical applications: residential, commercial and light-industrial installations

How to use

Select a suitable flat wall surface and ensure power to the circuit is switched off before beginning installation. Mark mounting points using the enclosure as a template, secure the enclosure to the wall with appropriate fixings, and install a compatible DIN-rail and modules inside according to electrical regulations. Route supply and load conductors through approved cable entries or glands to maintain the IP65 seal, connect devices and terminal blocks following wiring diagrams, and verify tightness of seals and the enclosure lid to preserve hermetic protection. After wiring, restore power and test each protective device for correct operation.

Use suitable cable glands and grommets for all entries to preserve the IP65 rating. Ensure all installed modular devices are rated for the intended circuit and that clearances meet local electrical codes. Regularly check seals and mounting points for deterioration in environments with high humidity or frequent temperature changes.
