Condensation-free distribution board enclosure suited to outdoor use

Spelsberg says its AK Air condensation-free enclosure for electrical distribution boards is proving popular for outdoor use, in addition to indoor installation. The enclosure’s integrated ventilation system expels virtually all condensation, protecting distribution boards from short circuit and corrosion. The enclosure also provides an IP65 rating, protecting internals from heavy rain. A modular design also enables fast and simple installation with a tool-free ability to connect multiple units together.
