VX 8285000 Bayed Enclosure 1200 x 1800 x 500 mm

VX 8285000 is a two-door VX25 bayed enclosure measuring 1,200 × 1,800 × 500 mm. Its 1,099 × 1,696 mm mounting plate provides a broad installation area for layouts that need more horizontal separation than an 800 mm- or 1,000 mm-wide cabinet, while the 1,800 mm height suits projects that do not require a 2,000 mm-tall enclosure.

The two-door front divides the 1,200 mm opening into easier-to-handle door sections. The sheet-steel enclosure includes a mounting plate, rear panel, roof plate and divided gland plates. Its symmetrical 25 mm frame pattern supports flexible interior installation, while separately ordered side panels allow standalone use or baying with other VX25 enclosures.

VX 8285000 Technical Specifications

When the 1,200 mm Width Matters

Choose VX 8285000 when the layout needs a wide, continuous mounting area but the available installation height is limited to a 1,800 mm enclosure. The 1,099 mm-wide mounting plate can support side-by-side functional zones, wider cable ducts or clearer separation between control, terminal and power sections. The 500 mm depth keeps the floor footprint smaller than the otherwise equivalent 600 mm-deep VX 8286000.

• Move to VX 8284000 when the same 1,200 × 1,800 mm front area is required but the installed equipment fits within a shallower 400 mm enclosure.
• Select VX 8285000 when a 1,099 × 1,696 mm mounting plate and 500 mm enclosure depth suit the layout and available floor space.
• Move to VX 8286000 when the same width and height are suitable but deeper components, cable bends or door-mounted equipment need another 100 mm of enclosure depth.
• Move to VX 8205000 when the 500 mm depth is sufficient but the mounting layout needs 200 mm more enclosure height.

• Load capacity: The enclosure system is specified for a load capacity of up to 15,000 N when installed in accordance with the applicable instructions.
• Potential equalization: The rear panel, roof and gland plates are conductively connected to the frame and prepared for additional earthing straps.

Applications

VX 8285000 is suited to floor-standing machine-control, automation and electrical-distribution layouts that benefit from a wide mounting plate and two front doors. The 1,200 mm width can accommodate side-by-side equipment zones, broad terminal arrangements or separate control and power areas without splitting the design across two narrower enclosures. Its 1,800 mm height can fit rooms or machine lines where a 2,000 mm cabinet is unnecessary, while the 500 mm depth helps control the front-to-back footprint. It can be used as a standalone cabinet with matching side panels or as one section of a bayed VX25 suite.

FAQ

Q1: What are the dimensions of Rittal VX 8285000?

A: VX 8285000 measures 1,200 mm wide, 1,800 mm high and 500 mm deep. It has two front doors and a 1,099 x 1,696 mm mounting plate.

Q2: Are side panels included with VX 8285000?

A: No. Side panels are ordered separately. They are required for the open sides when the enclosure is used as a standalone cabinet; bayed installations instead use the applicable connection and sealing components between enclosures.

Q3: What protection ratings apply to VX 8285000?

A: The model is specified as IP55 to IEC 60529 with side panels mounted, NEMA 1 and NEMA 12, Type 1 and Type 12 to UL 50E, and IK10 for impact protection. Final protection depends on correct assembly, cable entry, installed accessories and any enclosure modifications.

Q4: Can VX 8285000 be expanded into a multi-enclosure system?

A: Yes. VX25 enclosures are designed for baying on all sides. Use compatible internal or external baying components and confirm the sealing, grounding, base/plinth and cable-routing requirements for the complete enclosure suite.
