عربىFacing the wide variety of DB enclosures on the market, suffering from choice paralysis? Don't worry, it's actually simple once you understand their application scenarios.
1. By Installation Method:
-
Recessed Mount: The most common household type. Requires chiseling a groove in the wall to embed the box completely, with only the door panel exposed, offering a neat and tidy look.
-
Surface Mount: Suitable for finished walls where chiseling is inconvenient, or for temporary structures, basements, etc. The box is mounted directly onto the wall surface.
2. By Material:
-
Metal Enclosure: Sturdy, durable, strong protection, good electromagnetic shielding. Suitable for most household and industrial environments.
-
Plastic Enclosure: Good insulation, lightweight, corrosion-resistant, rust-proof. Especially suitable for damp environments (e.g., near bathrooms, kitchens) or corrosive environments.
3. By Protection Rating (Check IP Code):
-
IP30 (Ordinary Indoor): Only protects against dust. Suitable for dry, clean indoor environments.
-
IP54 (Splash Proof): Protects against dust and water splashes from all directions. Can be used on bathroom exterior walls, kitchens, balconies, etc., where moisture might be present.
-
IP65 (Water Jet Proof): Completely dust-tight and resistant to low-pressure water jets. Suitable for outdoors, garages, or wash-down environments.
Simple Decision-Making Process:
-
Newly Renovated Home: Preferred choice is Recessed Metal Enclosure.
-
Old House Renovation/Retrofit: Consider Surface Mount Plastic Enclosure (especially for damp areas).
-
Balcony/Garden/Bathroom: Must choose a waterproof model with IP54 or higher.
