QuestionsI’m interested in how your enclosures ensure the safety of both components and users once the double insulation on wiring is removed for making connections. And what measures are in place for maintaining basic protection for users?

Dear Gareth,

Thank you for your interest. Our enclosures, including junction boxes, underscore our commitment to safety, meeting stringent standards across the board. They serve a crucial role in providing double (Class II) insulation, effectively stepping in as a secondary layer of protection where the primary insulation has been compromised. This is particularly vital for securing live components with AC voltages over 50 V and DC voltages over 120 V.

As added peace of mind, all our products also feature a minimum of IP2X protection, with higher ratings available to suit specific application needs, ensuring they prevent direct contact with live parts and block the ingress of solid objects. This flexibility in IP protection levels allows us to enhance safety for installers and end-users across a wide range of environments.

For a closer look at our testing processes and how we ensure compliance with critical safety standards, please visit our testing laboratory page: https://www.spelsberg.co.uk/customising/testing-laboratory/testing-according-to-vde-and-ul.
Such a high level of protection is crucial in environments where electrical safety cannot be compromised. Our enclosures are thus ideally suited for a wide variety of settings, from residential to industrial, enhancing the safety and reliability of electrical installations.
