Why Your Enclosure Keeps Failing - And How Kenclozer Solves It

Discover the real reasons your industrial enclosures keep failing - UV exposure, poor sealing, or material fatigue and how Kenclozer polycarbonate enclosures offer a durable, waterproof, and long-lasting solution for harsh environments.

why your enclosure keeps failing and how kenclozer solves it

Electrical enclosures are indeed the heroes that are not popular at all until they break. And when they do, the results may be devastating: damages to equipment, shut down of operations, safety issues, and increased maintenance expenses. The frequent enclosure breakdowns, or the degraded performance in tough environment is a rage, and you are not the only one. However, here is some good news: Kenclozer has designed ways to address such failures and head-on.

In this blog, we’ll explore the most common reasons enclosures fail and how Kenclozer’s polycarbonate and ABS enclosures are purpose-built to eliminate these weak points.

Common Reasons Enclosures Fail

1. Water and Dust Ingress

A lot of enclosures cannot perform well in outdoor conditions or in dusty industrial ones. Leading to corrosion, electrical short or a dead device, bad sealing can leak in dust, moisture and even insects.

Kenclozer’s Solution:
Kenclozer enclosures have an ingress protection (EN 60529) rating of IP66/IP67, and are totally dust-tight, and are resistant to high-velocity water jets or to even short periods of immersion. This will make them suitable in solar applications, CNC modules and outdoor applications.

2. Cracks and Breakage from Impact

Generic or low-quality enclosures often crack during installation, shipping, or accidental knocks in the field, especially in extreme environments.

Kenclozer’s Solution:
Tested under IK07 impact resistance (EN 62262) standards, Kenclozer products use high-grade polycarbonate lids and ABS bodies that offer superior mechanical strength - enough to endure rough handling without compromising internal safety.

3. UV Degradation

It continuously gets exposed to the sunlight and eventually the brittleness and discolouration of the materials will occur.

Kenclozer’s Solution:
Kenclozer enclosures are UV-resistant (UL 746C) and tested for long-term exposure. You won't have to worry about your enclosure turning brittle or yellow under the sun.

4. Flammability Risk

In critical setups like solar DCDB/ACDB panels or motor starters, a flammable enclosure is a fire risk waiting to happen.

Kenclozer’s Solution:
With a UL 94-HB flammability rating and 650°C glow wire test certification, Kenclozer boxes minimize the risk of ignition, making them much safer for electrical applications.

5. Unstable Mounting & Internal Component Damage

In-transit damage or shaky internal components due to poor mounting mechanisms can compromise both performance and safety.

Kenclozer’s Solution:
Kenclozer provides extra-length gripping for mounting screws and multiple DIN rail/plate mounting options, which ensures a tight, stable fit for internal components like MCBs, SPDs, and fuses. It also means better performance during long-distance shipping and installation.

Why Kenclozer is the Smarter Choice

Looking to purchase a solar junction box, CNC machine panel enclosures, instrument housing or any other application, Kenclozer will bring you its durability, safety, and performance all the time.
