Plastic Transparent Cover Power Distribution Protection Box IP65 ABS for Circuit Breaker Indoor on The Wall 5 Way (160mmx120mmx95mm)

Just what I needed for my solar panel switch box. Thanks.

Use this to shut off the solar array when needed. Works well and seems to be well made.

Well built, feels strong. The window is a little hard to open at first. I advice you get some dust on your finger and get it on the rubber seal as it seals so tight, it makes it hard to open es the cover sticks to the cover. A little dust on the seal solves that problem. If you are going to work with thick cables, as I did AWG6 I suggest you get a bigger than needed box, as it could become a little difficult(not impossible) to bend the cables and route them inside the box.

This is a great little project enclosure, if your project entails DIN rail devices or MCBs.There is plenty of din rail within the enclosure, the rail spanning close to the full width of the box.It overshoots the visible window, allowing you to install end anchors, low profile fuses, or terminal blocks in this "out of bounds" area. I used this for grounding anchors and a fuse block, before I swapped in an MCB for the device the fuse was protecting when I realized I had enough space.You can also use the area, coupled with leaving some of the front punch-outs in, for terminal bars, as this enclosure has none of its own.Be advised that using the side conduit punch-outs will intrude on this extra area. My plus-sized ground clamps just barely fit after I installed my fittings.Vertical clearance is ample. The plastic over the "shoulders" is thin, so devices with tall "shoulders" will still fit inside of the enclosure.The face provides an aesthetically pleasing and comparatively flush experience for things like meters and control devices.MCB handles MAY poke up high enough to contact the access door should one trip while the door is closed.However, all MCBs decouple the mechanism from the handle when they trip, so this is in no way a safety risk - it's just a slight inconvenience, as the tripping handle MIGHT bump the door open. I've tried two different brands of MCB, and neither contacts the door when "on" or "off".The "gutters" are comparatively narrow, but even my largest control device was able to fit with only minor wire cramming necessary.Using the top or bottom punch-outs, predictably, will intrude on this area, but this is less of an issue than with the side punch-outs, as the only thing this area is good for is wiring.The knockouts are a little inconvenient. They are definitely tough. I would actually consider them a little TOO tough.It can be difficult to break out the exact number of blanks in the main front window that you want, without either removing too many or just not breaking them free.The conduit knockouts are quite annoying. I didn't have a huge problem breaking out the 1/2" hole, but widening them to 3/4 was significantly less fun.You will definitely want to go back over the rough edge with a knife to smooth them back down.The main seals hold well.The access door doesn't have the most confidence inspiring sealing pressure. It would resist splashing and dust, but I'm not sure how much harsh conditions it would be able to resist before leaking.In fairness, this enclosure is not advertised for outdoor use.You can use sealed conduit or cable fittings in the knockouts as well to further preserve the water/dust resistance of the enclosure. I used 3/4" Arlington fittings.The enclosure includes two 1/2" fittings, but they do not have seals.

Easy install and works with 10 gage wire for my solar panels.One improvmemt: could come with one OFF and one ON sticker to place by the switch lever.

Good price and does the job for solar array isolation.

Use this as both a DC fuse holder and a shut off breaker for my solar input wires. Little hard to fit them into the box because the wires are very stiff. Succeeded and

It looks and feels as sturdy as I would have expected. I am planning on mounting 2 dp breakers in here for solar panel discconects, which I have test fit and am happy with.I have not installed this or the breakers in the project, only test fit on the bench.
