A range of heaters for enclosures installed outdoors protects the
internal electronics from temperature fluctuations. Available with
400W and 800W outputs to prevent the internal temperature
dropping below the operational level, they also facilitate the
reduction of condensation within dual-walled cabinets where severe
low temperatures are encountered. The heaters snap onto DIN top
hat rails or screw into the punched frame sections of the
enclosure. All heaters have a protective grille in both the air inlet
and outlet. They are supplied with a complimentary thermostat.

RiLine NH on-load isolators provide safe, reliable isolation
protection from downstream electrical equipment. They are
available with or without fuse monitoring and range from 100-
630A (60mm), sizes 000 to 3, and can be easily mounted directly
onto busbar systems. If a fuse blows, a signal is sent immediately
to advise of the need for a replacement, without affecting plant
availability. Fitting of a micro switch indicates the switching
position of the isolator lid to the control desk/room. All designs
have a screwdriver-operated lock as standard.
Promanex has launched its new website, offering visitors access
to an overview of the specialist services provided, including
