Description
What IP ratings matter when choosing an enclosure in Nigeria?
IP42 enclosures suit dry indoor environments; IP65 enclosures are sealed against dust and low-pressure water jets and are the standard choice for outdoor installations, generator houses, and factory floors in Nigeria’s climate.
- IP42 — indoor, protected from dripping water and larger dust particles; typical for office and residential DB enclosures
- IP54/IP55 — indoor industrial areas with dust and light spray
- IP65 — fully dust-tight and protected against water jets; the standard for outdoor, generator room, and factory-floor enclosures in Nigeria
Metal or polyester (GRP) enclosures — which is right for the project?
Metal (mild steel or stainless steel) enclosures suit most standard commercial and industrial installations; polyester/GRP enclosures resist corrosion better in coastal, chemical, or high-humidity environments.
Fembosco’s technical team advises on enclosure material and IP rating based on where the equipment will physically sit — a generator room in Port Harcourt’s humidity, for instance, is treated differently from an air-conditioned server room in Abuja.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Fembosco supply an empty enclosure only, without switchgear?
Yes — Fembosco supplies empty enclosures to panel builders and contractors who are populating them with their own components.
What sizes of enclosure are available?
Enclosures are available across a wide range of dimensions to match distribution board way-counts and panel current ratings — share your requirement and Fembosco will match the correct size.
