Q: What's the difference between EKDB13-5 and EKDB13-5T?
A: The EKDB13-5T includes a pre-installed terminal block for neutral and earth connections, making installation faster and more convenient. The standard EKDB13-5 provides a clean enclosure without terminals for custom configurations.
Q: Can this box handle outdoor weather conditions year-round?
A: Absolutely! With IP65 waterproof rating and UV-stabilized PC material, the EKDB13-5 is designed for permanent outdoor installation. It operates reliably in temperatures from -25°C to +55°C and withstands rain, snow, dust, and UV radiation.
Q: What size circuit breakers can I install?
A: The 5-way configuration accommodates standard DIN rail mounted MCBs up to 125A. You can install single-pole, double-pole, or triple-pole breakers depending on your application requirements.
Q: How do I customize the cable entry holes?
A: ETEK provides custom cable entry hole drilling based on your specific requirements. Simply provide us with your cable sizes, quantities, and preferred positions when placing your order.
Q: Is this suitable for solar PV installations?
A: Yes! The EKDB13-5 is ideal for solar PV systems. Its UV-resistant material, waterproof design, and high current capacity make it perfect for DC combiner boxes, AC disconnect boxes, and string monitoring applications.
Q: Can I get different colors or transparent vs. opaque covers?
A: Yes! We offer:
Frame Colors: Standard Grey (RAL 7035) or Black
Cover Options: Transparent (for easy visual inspection) or Black Opaque (for UV-sensitive equipment)
