Padmount Primary & Secondary
Metering Enclosure
Scott’s line of padmount and overhead/wall mount metering solutions is available as a standard free-standing self-supporting padmount metal enclosure with adjustable mountings for customer-installed PTs/CTs. A separate compartment door leads to the metering compartment. This compartment includes meter sockets mounted on a removable hinged panel with cutouts for test switches. The overhead and wall mount metal enclosure has two mounting brackets and meter sockets. These metal enclosures are designed for 5kV or 25kV service ratings at 200A – 600A when installed. The metal enclosures are suitable for the utility side or solar field application with 200A – 600A installations.
Metal Enclosure Design
GALVANIZED CHANNEL
The metal enclosure is welded to a 3-inch galvanized channel base to reduce flexing and racking during installation.
WELDED THROUGHOUT
The metal enclosure’s galvanized channel base, roof and walls are MIG welded throughout and grounded smooth to make the metal enclosure structure sturdy and water infiltration resistant.
MEDIA BLASTED
Media blasting the metal enclosure removes metal impurities resulting in a rough surface that firmly adheres to the primer and finishing coat.
SEALANT
Once the metal enclosure has been primed, a sealant is applied to the seams to prevent water infiltration.
PRIMER & FINISH COAT
The metal enclosure is coated with 3 millimeters of epoxy primer and 3 millimeters of finishing to reduce the effect of corrosion. The epoxy coat is graffiti-resistant; use an adhesive remover to clean the defacement.
Metal Enclosure Benefits
CUSTOMIZABLE
When standardized metal enclosures do not meet your specifications due to site footprint requirements and limitations, Scott Manufacturing Solutions customizes metal enclosures to meet your specific requirements. Our 3-D modeling allows for ease in the visualization of the product, making customization seamless.
SAFE
Metal enclosures are customized to comply with IEEE, NEMA, ANSI and Western Underground Committee.
COST-EFFECTIVE
Designed to withstand the test of time. The metal enclosure 3-inch galvanized channel base, welded throughout construction and 3 millimeters of primer and finish coat contribute to the metal enclosure longevity. Resulting in a long-term, cost-effective solution that can endure harsh environments.
