Rittal says packing components into an enclosure is a science and an art and the engineer must plan the interior configuration to reduce wasted space and optimise the size of the enclosure, yet avoid issues such as over-heating or problems of future access to any of the components.

Rittal says it offers customers a range of solutions for the safe packing of sophisticated electronics systems, both centralised and decentralised and as well as a huge range of enclosures in different sizes, materials and paint specs, employing the company’s sophisticated Eplan software allows engineers to populate the panel in a CAD format, optimising the use of space.
