What is a waterproof distribution box

We all know that among all the classifications of distribution boxes, there is a type of distribution box called a waterproof distribution box, which some customers also refer to as a rainproof distribution box. This type of distribution box is mainly used outdoors to prevent some adverse weather. First of all, it goes without saying that waterproof distribution boxes must have dustproof and waterproof functions, as well as acid and alkali resistance. The protection level requirement is also particularly high, requiring IP65.

• Structural design
  The structural design of waterproof distribution boxes may be more complex, including cooling fans, through holes, cooling holes, etc. These designs not only help with heat dissipation, but also improve heat dissipation efficiency and extend service life without affecting waterproof functions. In contrast, the structural design of ordinary distribution boxes may be relatively simple, mainly focusing on energy distribution and protection functions.

• Waterproof function
  The waterproof distribution box is designed with waterproof measures, such as water blocking plates and filter plates, which can effectively prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the box, protect internal components from damage, and improve the safety of the box. However, ordinary distribution boxes do not have such waterproof design, which can easily cause damage to internal components due to rainwater intrusion.

• Application scenarios
  Waterproof distribution boxes, due to their waterproof function, are more suitable for use outdoors or in places that require waterproof protection, such as inside and outside buildings, outdoors, etc. Ordinary distribution boxes are widely used in various places, such as schools, government agencies, hospitals, factories, workshops, households, etc., mainly for the control, distribution, and line protection of electrical equipment.
