Build A Custom Enclosure

Features of IP56 cabinets include:

  • Specialized materials, including aluminum alloys, stainless steel, galvanized steel and carbon steel, to meet your application requirements. Finishes available include wet coat and powder coat painting, anodizing and alodining.
  • Security and tamper-resistant hardware.
  • Environmental controls, including thermostats, heat strips, air conditioning, passive or fan-assisted venting and insulation.
  • Light switches.
  • Viewing windows.
  • Fuse blocks and power panels.
  • Casters, support legs and risers.
  • Range of installation options, including free-standing, pad mounted, wall mounted, pole mounted and walk-in.

Protection from Solids 

  • Complete Protection from any tools or objects (dust permitted - no harmful deposits).
  • This enclosure is not air tight and therefore only allows dust size particles in non-harmful quantities to penetrate.

Protection from Moisture

  • High pressure jets from all directions, (limited ingress permitted).

Weather Conditions Enclosure can Withstand

  • Enclosure can be hosed down, eg. Ship decks.

IP Ratings Calculator

Bison provides a resource that quickly explains the protection that each IP enclosure would give, the weather conditions that it could withstand and an equivalent NEMA rating that Bison could then specifically manufacture in order to replace it.

Directions: Input a number between 10-68 to find results on what the protection means.
