Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester (FRP) Link Boxes

DESCRIPTION Advantages of new generation


Link boxes may be installed in of EMELEC FRP link boxes:
corrosive environments such as - Excellent resistance to corrosion
offshore and marine applications. (off-shore and marine
The original industry standards applications),
for these boxes were developed - Excellent UV performance,
for metals, but most metals are - Excellent chemical resistance,
problematic alternatives for - Low water absorption,
such a harsh environment. - Self-extinguishing ammability,
Stainless steel provides more - High dielectric Strength,
corrosion resistance but for - High mechanical strength
long term operations there (tensile, bending and impact
s h o u l d b e a m o re re l i a b l e strength)
alternative. After long time
- Can be used in ambient
R&D activities and investments
temperature range of -40°C
on FRP link boxes, now this type
to 90°C,
of link boxes is available to be
manufactured in EMELEC - Light weight
production line. Raw material EMELEC FRP link boxes type
for this link boxes is SMC (Sheet tested and fully comply with
Moulding Compound) that has international standards. IP68
excellent properties. Specially tests as well as heating cycle
designed molds are used to test (7 cycles immersed in
produce lid and body of link water: heated up to 40°C for
box. Moulding process 5 hours cooled to ambient
provides precious products temperature) for this link boxes
with continuous quality has been performed.
This link boxes also can
withstand Internal arc and
short circuit currents. These
features make EMELEC FRP link
boxes exclusive compared to
other products.
