Rittal KX 1579000 E-Box,carbon steel

Does the Layout Need a 785 mm-High Mounting Plate?

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.

1. Build the full vertical stack first. Place the cable-entry zone, wiring ducts, devices, terminals and separation spaces inside the 275 × 785 mm mounting-plate boundary.
2. Choose more width when rows are crowded. A wider enclosure is the better direction when devices, side wiring or conductor bends do not fit across the 275 mm mounting width; extra height will not solve that problem.
3. Verify the installed depth. Check mounting hardware, component projection, terminals and wire bend radius against the closed door because 155 mm is the external enclosure depth.
4. Use KX 1578000 when 585 mm is enough. It offers the same 300 mm width and 155 mm depth in a shorter 600 mm-high housing.

Machining the Tall 300 × 800 mm Housing

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.
