Rittal KX 1579000 300 × 800 × 155 mm Carbon Steel E-Box
The Rittal KX 1579000 is a tall, narrow carbon steel E-Box with a 275 × 785 mm mounting plate. The 300 mm width limits the wall space it occupies, while the 800 mm height provides a continuous vertical area for several equipment and wiring levels.
This 300 mm-wide electrical enclosure suits machine-side controls, long terminal arrangements and junction installations that need more vertical capacity than a 600 mm-high KX E-Box.

KX 1579000 keeps the 300 mm width and 155 mm depth of KX 1578000, then adds 200 mm to the enclosure height and mounting-plate height. The taller format is useful when the finished control layout needs more rows, greater separation between functions or longer wiring zones than the 275 × 585 mm plate in KX 1578000 can provide.

Compare other widths, heights and depths on the KX E-Box series page before selecting another enclosure size.
Set one fixed datum for every opening on the 800 mm-high housing so positions do not accumulate from one equipment row to the next. Top or bottom cable entries must align with the planned end wiring zone, while side openings must be checked against devices and ducts across the full 785 mm mounting-plate height. Door cut-outs must clear both lock positions, the hinge line and the internal component projection shown on the approved layout.
For review, provide: KX 1579000, quantity, an approved drawing or CAD file, opening sizes and coordinates, reference edges, tolerances and cable-entry direction. Confirm the current dimensional drawing and completed internal layout before machining; the external 300 × 800 × 155 mm dimensions do not state the available clearance behind the closed door.
