In modern industrial and power systems, metal cabinets not only serve the function of equipment support and fixation, but also play a critical role in environmental protection. Especially for equipment such as energy storage enclosures and control cabinets used in outdoor or humid environments, waterproof performance is essential to ensure the safe and reliable operation of internal electrical components. High-quality metal cabinets must not only have a sturdy structure and precise manufacturing process, but also meet specific protection grade requirements, such as the IP65 waterproof standard, to effectively block water droplets and dust from entering the cabinet interior.
IP65 is an internationally recognized protection rating standard, meaning complete dust resistance and protection against water jets from any direction. This implies that metal cabinets meeting the IP65 standard can protect internal sensitive electrical equipment from damage in environments with rain or splashing water.
To achieve IP65 waterproof performance, the following technical measures are commonly adopted during manufacturing:
To achieve IP65 waterproof performance in sheet metal cabinet fabrication, the following technical measures are commonly adopted during manufacturing:
The main body of the metal cabinet is often made of high-strength carbon steel sheets. This material offers excellent mechanical properties, making it suitable for withstanding mechanical stress in various industrial environments and reaching the structural integrity standards often required in nuclear steel fabrication and aerospace sheet metal fabrication, while also providing a solid foundation for subsequent surface treatments.
For scenarios with high outdoor protection requirements, the cabinet surface must undergo powder coating treatment. A high-quality powder coating layer not only enhances appearance but also improves the cabinet's corrosion resistance. In industrial settings, powder coating can achieve C4 level corrosion resistance, suitable for environments with medium to high corrosiveness, significantly extending the service life of the metal cabinet.
Waterproof cabinets are designed with high-performance sealing strips and enhanced door seam tightness, making the cabinet door, seams, and other parts effective waterproof barriers. These detailed designs ensure that internal equipment remains protected from moisture even during prolonged exposure to harsh environments.
In the fields of new energy and energy storage, there are very high requirements for the waterproof and dustproof performance of cabinets. Energy storage enclosures are typically used to house batteries, power management systems, and other key components. Any intrusion of moisture could pose safety risks. Therefore, choosing a metal cabinet with an excellent waterproof design is critically important.
