Electrical Enclosure Window Kit: The Ultimate FAQ Guide

Why Do You Need Electrical Enclosure with Window?

In electrical enclosures, windows play the following important roles:

i. Allow for easy inspection or monitoring components in the enclosure without fully opening the door.

ii. Windows ensure fast and easy access to enclosure components, especially for those that you can open.

iii. With ventilation systems, air can flow in and out of the electrical enclosure through the windows. This is critical when you are using electrical enclosure fans as a cooling mechanism.

Are Electrical Enclosure Window Kits NEMA Rated?

NEMA ratings, define the overall electrical enclosure specifications for different types of environments.

Of course, whenever you’re talking about a NEMA enclosure with a specific rating (say type 1 or type 10), it takes into account all accessories such as:

• Doors,
• Windows, or
• Enclosure cooling system

Implying, we don’t have a NEMA rated electrical enclosure window kit.

However, we have NEMA rated electrical enclosures with window kits.

What is a Deep-hinged Electrical Enclosure Window Kit?

These are special types of hinges that ensure safety and allows for easy access to the enclosure by opening the window.

Depending on the design, and type of gasket, you can use the deep-hinged electrical enclosure windows in NEMA 4 enclosures, NEMA 4x enclosures, and NEMA 12 enclosures.

Furthermore, the hinges are not exposed, thereby reducing the chances of vandalism.

Should You Choose Fixed or Hinged Enclosure Window Kits?

Fixed windows are permanently secured on the electrical enclosures.

They are fixed using screws or adhesives.

Therefore, with fixed enclosure window kits, you can only observe the interior of an electrical cabinet.

However, you cannot access it.

On the other hand, with hinged enclosure window kits, you can easily open and close the window.

Implying, it gives you the opportunity to observe and access the interior of the electrical enclosure.

In most cases, hinged enclosure window kits may have a locking and latching mechanism.
