Re: Enclosures



I would recommend Ben too. He came with the enclosures pre-built to my

OOOPS - Just realised I used SAIP boxes not Hager. So ignore my last=20
comments - and the bit about them (Hager) being available through CEF=20
. Happy with what I ended up with though, although they take a lot of=20
space (each box is 3 rows by 12 DIN positions), with clear perspex fronts=
.

If I was doing it again my wishes would be a greater density of DIN=20
units in the same physical space as the boxes rapidly filled. My ideal=20
for C-Bus would be a 21 or 22 unit wide arrangement x4 or tolerably x2=20
rows as then I could mount C-Bus plus MCB's for each of the 8 channels,=20
plus the main dimmer feed(s) MCB on each row. I was trying to preserve=20
some phsical logicality in matching MCB's and the Dimmers so it was=20
either 12 or 20+ width I wanted. 4 rows in the same space as my 3=20
row cabinet would have been nice too. All in all I will probably end up=20
with 6 of the SAIP boxes plus the main disti panel (SquareD) and an=20
accessory DIN cabinet. That takes up a lot of space, (photos will=20
eventually follow).

PS Ben did some of my work too - I have tried to do the bits that just=20
consume hours and hours (=A3=A3=A3's) myself and he will complete and Par=
t P=20
it - recommended.
