Power to you, power to your customers

The sustainable transformation to electric vehicles has only just begun. In the coming decade the infrastructure surrounding E-mobility will expand at a great pace, to ensure that people can charge their vehicles whenever they need to. No matter if it is a hyper charger or a home charger, protecting the live current elements inside the electrical enclosure is vital.

CRA International offers a versatile suite of multipoint access solutions, designed for all types of electrical enclosures. These are widely used for applications in Power Generation, Power Distribution, IT and Telecom.

The main objectives for latching solutions are to ensure safety, to guarantee functionality of the enclosure and to provide the same smooth operation every time you use it. To facilitate this you need a solution that can withstand seismic activity, electromagnetic interference and all types of weather conditions, such as heat, cold, rain, snow and lightning. There is also a handle option that is vandalism certified RC2.

Assortment of Solutions

Swing Handles

Swing handles are the most common manoeuvring device for a consumer-facing enclosure requiring a three-point latching system. They are available in die-cast zinc, glass fibre reinforced polyamide and acid-proof stainless steel 316, perfectly suited for demanding applications in harsh environments.

Not all swing handles are created equal – but they don’t need to be! A 3-point locking system with a swing handle can be a simple and in-expensive solution for large doors, used inside or outdoors. Swing handles can be pleasing to the eye, ergonomic and satisfying to use.

There are four latching versions: tool operated, key locking, pad-lockable and nonlocking. The handles can have a regular cylinder, an oval cylinder, a profile cylinder or a Bestlock cylinder. Another option is to use the push-to-latch version, where the spring-loaded cam latches when the handle is pushed to the closed position. Dustcover is optional.

The Right Hinges Ensure Smooth Operation

One key aspect of having a sealed and easily operated enclosure is to make sure the right hinges are applied to the solution. For example, a small and lightweight door that only needs to be opened 90° needs one type of hinge, while a large, heavy door that needs to be opened 150° needs something completely different.
