Our Promise to You

As the best electrical enclosure manufacturer, we guarantee you products that are:

  • Reliable and highly configurable for your various applications
  • NEMA-compliant and UL-listed with high application specificity
  • Highly customized and ready for use
  • Tailored for elevated performance and cost-cutting

Configurability to Your Application

At WTE, we make NEMA 4X enclosures that not only adhere to the highest standards, but that are also fully configurable your dynamic needs. WTE NEMA 4X enclosures can readily interface with your indoor or outdoor application components.

The versatility in design, accessorizing, sizing, and finishing also guarantees that our NEMA 4X and NEMA 3R stainless steel enclosures can deliver dependable performance in every application.

Electrical and electronic technologies change with time. When these changes occur, and you have to fit your enclosure with new components, you will want your enclosure to have a higher degree of design flexibility.

Our designers and engineers create standard and custom NEMA 4X enclosures with these changes in mind. Your future is in good hands.

NEMA-Compliance and Application Specificity

WTE has a successful track record of delivering NEMA and UL-compliant enclosures. Our NEMA 4X enclosures are designated for both indoor and outdoor uses.

They protect components from the ingress of foreign objects, including dust, rain, sleet, snow, hose-directed water, splashing water, and corrosion. These enclosures must also have features for protecting personnel from accidental contact with the components.

At WTE, we give you a reason to be confident. We maintain NEMA and UL certifications that verify the compliance of our processes and products. But we also raise the bar. Every day we push the envelope in technological innovation to help our clients navigate the complex challenges of their environments and use cases.

Our design, engineering, and machining processes are all geared towards addressing cost reductions and performance reliability in installation, use, and maintenance of the NEMA 4X enclosures.

Corrosion Resistance in Adverse Environments

You need an electrical enclosure manufacturer that understands the acute challenges you face with your fixtures in adverse environments. Our client roster includes wastewater treatment companies that struggle with the risk of corrosion from hydrogen sulfide and the saline chemicals used in water treatments.

Our clients in the oil and gas industry similarly have an elevated risk of corrosion and even flammability for their petrochemical wastes and processes. It’s the same story for all users that deploy NEMA 4 X enclosures in areas that have a dangerous cocktail of chemicals, pollutants, sand, dust, and temperature variations.

Our solutions for these challenges include precise material selection and coating, among other strategies. The WTE NEMA 4X enclosures are of stainless steel whose robustness addresses the durability challenges posed by the corrosive agents in these adverse environments.

The smooth and thin layer of chromium oxide, which forms naturally on our 304 and 316 stainless steel, keeps out water, dust, and other corrosive agents. These contaminants roll off and bounce leaving your enclosure clean and robust for many years to come.

For carbon steel enclosures, we use advanced carbon powder coating techniques to achieve reliable corrosion-prevention.

Reliable Cooling Solutions

At WTE we know how important temperature management for your components can be. Our team of engineers proactively addresses these hurdles with a mix of robust and innovative features, including ventilation, functional color, and the Solar Guard enclosure accessories.

When you are faced with challenges about component durability and performance in hot climates, talk to us. We implement machining processes that achieve the highest quality enclosure ventilation without impacting their NEMA ratings.

Our clients in the solar power industry, defense, and power distribution sectors have successfully deployed the WTE NEMA 4X boxes in harsh temperatures thanks to these ventilations.

One other thing we do differently as a forward-thinking electrical enclosure manufacturer is the use of functional color. We have run simulation tests that show how white powder coat finishes help in cooling when your enclosure is in direct sunlight. This coloring option similarly helps to safeguard your installation from the risk of UV degradation.

Excess temperatures can lead to the overheating of components or condensation, both of which can adversely interfere with your connections. For that reason, to our eclectic mix of cooling techniques and accessories, we are introducing the new Solar Guard products.

Whether you deploy your NEMA 4X outside or in hot indoor industrial environments, these external heat shields will help you overcome overheating.

Durability and Peak Performance for Your Components

It’s no secret that the ingress of water, dust, snow, and other items can adversely damage the structure and performance of your electrical components. As a reliable electrical enclosure manufacturer, we make NEMA 4X enclosures that are regulatory compliant and up to the task for the various risks in different use cases.

With us, you will get high-quality enclosures every time. Our designers leverage several proven sealing, access, and mounting techniques that keep out water, dust, and snow, among other damaging objects.

We carry out rigorous quality control and advanced simulations on the performance and reliability of the enclosures in all the stated conditions. The enclosures we deliver as a result are sufficiently robust to house your components and ensure their reliable performance.
