Rittal 5115500 Compact System Enclosure Ip 55

Product Description

The RITTAL 5115500 is a compact system enclosure from the CM series, designed for housing electrical controls, distribution components, and automation equipment in industrial and commercial applications. The enclosure body is fabricated from 1.5 mm sheet steel and the hinged door from 2.0 mm sheet steel, both dipcoat primed and powder-coated in RAL 7035 light gray with a textured finish. A 3.0 mm zinc-plated steel mounting plate is included. The unit carries an IP 55 protection rating, meaning it resists dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. A foamed-in polyurethane seal runs the full perimeter of the door to maintain that rating. Total weight is 131 pounds.

The 5115500 is suited for industrial facilities, manufacturing environments, machine control panels, and commercial electrical installations where a robust, dust- and moisture-resistant enclosure is required. The open base design accepts field-installed base plates and allows individual cable entry routing tailored to the specific installation. The 3-point locking system with double-bit insert provides a standard security interface familiar to maintenance and electrical crews across industrial sites. This enclosure is typically specified and installed by licensed electricians or industrial controls technicians.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC requirements. Disconnect and lock out all power sources before working inside the enclosure or connecting any conductors. Verify that cable entry fittings and conduit connectors used at the open base maintain the IP 55 rating of the enclosure. Ensure the mounting surface is level and structurally capable of supporting the 131-pound enclosure and its contents.
