What is nema 4x?

NEMA 4X is a type of enclosure that is designed to protect electrical and electronic equipment in harsh and corrosive environments. It is constructed with a rugged, corrosion-resistant material, typically stainless steel. The NEMA 4X rating means that the enclosure is designed to be watertight and dust-tight, even when subjected to high-pressure hose down or shallow immersion. It is commonly used in industries such as food processing, chemical manufacturing, and wastewater treatment, where equipment is exposed to harsh environments or corrosive materials. The NEMA 4X rating ensures that the equipment located inside the enclosure stays safe and operational, even in extreme environmental conditions.
