The Hensel Mi 81336 is a professional-grade surface-mounted modular distribution board engineered for demanding electrical installations. With a capacity of 3 x 12 modules, this enclosure provides ample space for circuit breakers, residual current devices, and other modular components. Its robust construction and high-quality materials ensure long-term durability and reliable performance in various environments, making it a trusted choice for electrical professionals seeking a secure and organized distribution solution.

Advantages

This distribution board stands out due to its superior IP65 protection rating, which guarantees complete protection against dust ingress and water jets from any direction. The modular design allows for flexible configuration and easy expansion of electrical circuits as project requirements evolve. Its surface-mounted design simplifies installation on walls, while the high-impact resistant housing provides excellent mechanical protection for the internal components, ensuring safety and operational continuity in harsh conditions.

Suitable for

• Industrial manufacturing facilities
• Commercial building electrical systems
• Outdoor or semi-outdoor installations requiring moisture protection
• Workshops and garages
• Infrastructure projects requiring high ingress protection

When it may not be suitable

This unit may not be suitable for applications requiring flush-mounted installation, as it is specifically designed for surface mounting. Additionally, if the project requires a capacity significantly larger than 36 modules, alternative enclosures or multiple units would be necessary.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 3 x 12 modules
• Protection rating: IP65
• Mounting type: Surface-mounted
• Application: Indoor and protected outdoor environments
• Material: High-quality, impact-resistant thermoplastic

How to use

The Hensel Mi 81336 should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. Begin by securing the enclosure base to a flat, stable surface using appropriate mounting hardware. Once the base is fixed, install the necessary DIN-rail components into the modular slots. Route the cables through the provided entry points, ensuring that all cable glands are properly tightened to maintain the IP65 seal. Finally, attach the cover and secure it to ensure the enclosure is fully sealed against environmental factors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the wall surface is capable of supporting the weight of the fully equipped board.
• Ensure that the dimensions of the enclosure fit the designated installation space.
• Check that the required number of modules does not exceed the 36-module capacity.
• Confirm that all cable entries are compatible with your specific conduit or cable types to maintain the IP65 rating.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the enclosure for any signs of physical damage and ensure that the cover seals remain intact to preserve the IP65 protection rating over time.
