GW46001F Gewiss Polyester Electrical Enclosure 250X300X160 - IP66 - RAL 7035
MPN: GW46001F
Why Choose the Gewiss GW46001F Monobloc Cabinet?
The Gewiss GW46001F is a high-performance monobloc cabinet from the 46 Range, specifically designed for industrial automation and distribution. This "F" version is characterized by its opaque (blank) door, offering privacy and protection for sensitive internal components.
Unlike modular enclosures, the GW46001F features a one-piece molded structure made of high-quality technopolymer. It is engineered for IP66 protection, meaning it is completely dust-tight and can withstand powerful jets of water—essential for heavy industrial wash-down areas or exposed outdoor installations.
Product Code: Gewiss GW46001F
Key Benefits
- Total Watertightness: Rated at IP66, providing the highest level of protection against water ingress and environmental debris.
- Maximum Internal Space: Nominal dimensions of 310x425x160mm provide a versatile volume for PLCs, motor starters, or distribution gear.
- Impact Resistance: Rated at IK10, the highest standard for protection against external mechanical impacts.
- Double Insulation: Class II rated, ensuring safety in installations where earthing the enclosure is not possible or desired.
- Opaque Shielding: The blank door protects internal equipment from UV degradation and prevents unauthorized viewing of internal settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cabinet include the internal mounting plate?
Standard "F" series monoblocs often require the mounting plate to be ordered separately. For this size, you would typically use the GW46401 (steel) or GW46421 (insulated) plate.
Is the door reversible?
Yes, the hinges are designed so that the door can be mounted to open either to the left or to the right, depending on your installation requirements.
Can I use this for outdoor marine environments?
Yes. The fiberglass-reinforced polyester material is highly resistant to salt spray, chemical agents, and UV rays, making it superior to many metallic cabinets in coastal areas.
What is the difference between IP65 and IP66?
While IP65 protects against low-pressure water jets, IP66 is rated to withstand high-pressure, powerful water jets from any direction, offering significantly better protection in heavy-duty wash-down zones.
