GW46003F Gewiss Polyester Electrical Enclosure 405X500X200 - IP66 - RAL 7035
MPN: GW46003F
Why Choose the Gewiss GW46003F 54-Module Monobloc Cabinet?
The Gewiss GW46003F is a high-capacity, IP66-rated monobloc cabinet designed for professionals who require maximum durability in the most punishing environments. Part of the renowned 46 Range, this cabinet is the "step-up" model from the GW46002F, offering a larger footprint and 54-module capacity.
Manufactured from fiberglass-reinforced polyester (GRP), it is immune to the rust and corrosion that plague standard metal enclosures. Whether you are housing sensitive automation PLC components on a salt-air dockside or managing a large-scale Solar PV distribution point, the GW46003F provides a "Total Insulation" (Class II) environment that ensures long-term safety and zero maintenance.
Product Code: Gewiss GW46003F
Key Benefits
- Unrivaled Protection (IP66): Total protection against fine dust ingress and powerful sea-spray or high-pressure hose-downs.
- Maximum Impact Resistance (IK10): The fiberglass shell is tested to 20 Joules, making it virtually vandal-proof and resistant to heavy mechanical stress.
- Superior Material Science: Unlike standard ABS, GRP is Halogen-free, UV-stabilized, and maintains structural integrity in extreme temperatures.
- 54-Module Flexibility: Featuring 3 rows of 18 modules, it provides 50% more internal space than the 36-module version, perfect for complex multi-circuit layouts.
- Opaque Security: The blank door conceals valuable switchgear from view and is secured with dual triangular locks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is GRP better than Stainless Steel for coastal areas?
Yes. While stainless steel can eventually "tea-stain" or corrode in salt air, fiberglass-reinforced polyester is chemically inert and will never rust, making the GW46003F the superior choice for marine applications.
Can this cabinet be used for non-modular equipment?
Absolutely. While it is rated for 54 modules, you can remove the modular frame and use a GW46403 backplate to mount any electrical components, relays, or power supplies.
What tools are needed for the locks?
The door is fitted with standard triangular insert locks. One triangular key is typically included with the cabinet.
