NVENT HOFFMAN SBK20064 Seismic bracket kit MC20064

Why Choose the nVent HOFFMAN SBK20064 Seismic Bracket Kit?

The nVent HOFFMAN SBK20064 is a heavy-duty seismic bracket reinforcement kit designed for compatible floor-standing electrical enclosures installed in areas where seismic activity and vibration can place additional mechanical stress on enclosure frames. Designed for the MC20064 enclosure configuration, the kit reinforces the enclosure structure to improve rigidity and stability.

The SBK20064 uses galvanised mild steel side bars and brackets to strengthen the enclosure frame. Its cross-bracing arrangement helps prevent the enclosure structure from moving out of square when subjected to vibration, providing additional mechanical support for sensitive electrical, automation and control equipment.

The kit is designed for an enclosure size of 2000 mm high × 600 mm wide × 400 mm deep. The side bars and cross elements are manufactured from 4 mm galvanised steel, while the brackets are manufactured from 3 mm galvanised steel. One seismic bracket assembly is supplied with the required mounting material.

Structural Reinforcement for Seismic Environments

Electrical enclosures installed in seismic areas can experience significant forces during an earthquake. Movement and vibration can place stress on the enclosure frame and potentially affect the sensitive electrical, control and automation equipment installed inside. Seismic reinforcement provides additional structural rigidity to help the enclosure resist these forces.

The nVent HOFFMAN SBK20064 reinforces the enclosure frame using robust side bars, brackets and cross elements. For the specified seismic installation arrangement, CLPK Click-in profiles are mounted in the depth direction and CB carrier bars are installed across the width at the top and bottom, helping the completed enclosure configuration comply with the applicable seismic test arrangement.

Typical Applications

• Floor-standing industrial electrical enclosures.
• Electrical installations in seismic-risk areas.
• Industrial automation and control cabinets.
• Process control and instrumentation systems.
• Manufacturing and production facilities.
• Infrastructure and utility installations.
• Telecommunications and data equipment enclosures.
• Installations containing sensitive electrical and electronic equipment.
