Rittal VX ESS enclosures house energy storage components with perforated doors and rear panels. Compare sizes and interior fitting options.

The Rittal VX ESS energy storage enclosure provides a steel housing for battery modules and associated equipment. The enclosure has a roof plate, perforated door and perforated rear panel. Versions are available with or without flexible interior fitting.
Select the enclosure dimensions and mounting arrangement around the battery module drawing. Check module weight, support points, terminal positions and airflow requirements before specifying component shelves or slide rails.
Choose the required size, then select the interior fitting version. Models with the same external dimensions have different mounting arrangements, so confirm the full article number before ordering.

Confirm the complete supply scope for the selected version. Specify battery modules, electrical protection, monitoring equipment and module supports separately in the project bill of materials.
| Version | Mounting approach | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| Without interior fitting | Plan the module installation using suitable component shelves and supports. | Required shelf dimensions, load rating, mounting components and module spacing. |
| With flexible interior fitting | Plan the module installation around the flexible interior fitting and suitable slide rails. | Module support points, rail arrangement, installation clearances and included components. |
A matching enclosure width and depth do not establish battery compatibility. Check the module and support drawings together before finalising the configuration.
The listed VX ESS enclosures have an IP20 protection category. The perforated door and rear panel provide airflow openings; the enclosure does not provide protection against water ingress.
Check the room conditions, battery operating limits and ventilation requirements. Outdoor installation and special environmental conditions require suitability confirmation from Rittal.
The enclosure specification does not establish the electrical rating, energy capacity or fire performance of the completed storage system. These depend on the installed equipment and system design.
Match each document to the selected article number. An enclosure declaration does not establish conformity of the completed battery energy storage system.
