Enclosures make an
important part of the electrical installation that serve for packing
and protecting the electrical devices and the parts consisting the
distribution system. Through the years of usage and development have
evolved a lot. Some of the main changes and advancements were made in
respect of the materials that were used in their construction. If we
take a look back to the range of materials that were used for making
enclosures, we'll come to conclusion that the most prevalent
materials are aluminum and steel.
The main reason for the
implementation of non-metallic materials are the corrosion features
of these metals under certain environmental conditions. Therefore,
these days the enclosure retailers offer a range of enclosures made
from non-metallic materials including plastic and composites
(materials made of two or more different sourcing materials).
Fiberglass enclosures are some of the specific enclosure types that
are increasing in popularity. The electrical installation experts
point out that the fiberglass enclosures make a reliable alternative
to the enclosures made of degradable materials such as steel and
aluminum.
There are many reasons
to buy a fiberglass
enclosure instead of metallic one. In addition, here is a short
overview of the most noteworthy advantages of the fiberglass
enclosures.
