  • GRP electrical enclosures - Benefits and Range

Why using GRP electrical enclosures

Electrical meter boxes, enclosures and cabinets can be made of different materials. The most common being metal, plastic and Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP). Choosing the right material for your enclosures is important:

 

  1. Plastic expands and shrinks with changes in temperatures and melts with fire.
  2. Metal conducts electricity and is corrosive.
  3. GRP is non-corrosive, self-extinguishing and resistant to extreme temperature.

Plinths and pedestals for outdoor usage

As well as offering a wide range of GRP enclosures, MeterBoxesDirect also offers GRP plinths / pedestals. They are available as an effective solution for the installation of the larger IP44 and IP55 enclosures. The GRP Plinths are a base or platform which supports the enclosures. They are designed as a weight-bearing base (which is partially buried underground) and acts as a support between the ground and the enclosure. They have been designed to provide space for cable and duct access during installation. The Plinths have a removable cover to allow front entry for essential maintenance and also prevent direct contact with the moisture in the soil.
