Add-ons for Your NEMA 3R Enclosure

There are many add-ons for NEMA 3R enclosures that you can opt for when you want to increase its capacity, improve its ventilation, or give it more support. These add-ons, however, should not reduce the enclosure’s efficiency or impede its ability to protect the electrical components it houses. West Tool Enclosures provides the best options on the market. With a vast catalog of sizes and configurations to choose from. Get Started here!

West Tool Enclosures (WTE) offers a variety of add-ons and accessories to make your NEMA 3R enclosure even more efficient. We do this with no decline in the enclosure’s protection rating, because ultimately its job is to keep your electrical hardware safe.

NEMA enclosures provide protection against falling liquids and dust ingress. Our stainless steel NEMA 3R enclosures are a great option for both indoor and outdoor applications. A NEMA 3R enclosure with the right add-ons can be quite budget-friendly and provide adequate levels of protection.

WTE tailors each enclosure to meet project demands without going over budget. For years, we’ve been a leading supplier of highly functional and durable NEMA-certified cabinets for applications ranging from commercial to residential. With a growing need for resilient enclosures to protect electrical components in all sorts of environments, we keep innovating and creating new ways to make enclosures more efficient without driving up costs.

When Should You Consider Add-Ons for Your NEMA 3R Enclosure?

Add-ons increase the versatility of your enclosure and allow you to install features that weren’t initially included in its design. We won’t advise you to get an add-on unless it is an effective fix that won’t compromise the structural integrity of the enclosure and its functionality.

Consider getting an add-on for your NEMA 3R enclosure under the following circumstances.

To Reinforce Structure

Brackets provide additional support for enclosures, and you should consider installing some if there is a risk of inflicting damage upon the enclosure with heavy equipment and components. Supportive add-ons need to be placed strategically to provide adequate reinforcement without interfering with the enclosure’s functionality.

To Improve Ventilation & Drainage

Air vents and “weep holes” facilitate adequate air and moisture movement. The last thing you want is to have moisture building up inside the enclosure, or not have enough cold air circulating inside it. Because add-ons like these may compromise the impermeability of the cabinet if not installed correctly, you must turn to a reputable enclosure manufacturer like WTE to avoid impacting on the efficiency of your NEMA 3R enclosure.

To Improve Security

Lockable doors, alternate locking systems, and reinforced hinges can be installed on a NEMA 3R enclosure to make it more secure. Alternative locking systems can be installed on both single-door and double-door electrical enclosures. If human interference is a big concern for you (such as is the case with outdoor enclosures in public areas), then these add-ons are more of a necessity than a luxury.

What Else Can I Install in My NEMA 3R Enclosure?

HMI mounts, viewing windows, air conditioner, fans, motion lights, powder coating, and solar guarding (heat shields) all make your NEMA 3R enclosure better suited to protect its contents. A quick assessment of your current setup will let you know whether you need any add-ons, and if yes, which ones are more crucial.

Please don’t settle for cookie-cutter solutions, especially when it is your hard-earned money and electrical setup at stake.

Enclosures That Are Cut to Order

Problems with installation arise when the enclosure’s build does not meet the specified dimension. Errors in cutout placement are especially notorious for causing issues during installation and reducing the profitability of your project. Your NEMA 3R enclosure should especially be devoid of mistakes because even the slightest deviation from the required design is enough to put your hardware at risk.

It takes two weeks for us to fulfill your order. This industry-leading turnaround time applies to most custom orders too, which means you can get your shipment of customized NEMA 3R enclosures in less than a month!

Competitive Pricing

Even with industry-leading quality and exceptional turnaround times, WTE is still more affordable than most of the other companies in the industry. We offer highly competitive prices for our products, whether pre-fabricated or customized, without compromising on quality. Most people go over budget for “world-class products” only to end up with sub-par enclosures that cost even more to rectify. That’s not how we do things here at WTE where we offer American-made quality at extremely competitive prices.
