Build your own Box
All Hughes Electrical Enclosure products are available with Hughes innovative technology options to allow users and designers to configure economical bespoke units which serve precise and particular needs. Features such as internal/external functional (direct to ground) earthing points are available to provide a direct route to ground for any equipment on the structure to eliminate the problem of Foucault’s or eddy currents (looping electrical currents within the structure) caused by earthing on the structure. A one-way pressure compensation valve is also available to stop climactic pressure and corrosive condensation build-up (common in ferrous products). To signal the presence of humidity and notify auditors of possible maintenance requirements a humidity indicator is also available.
Choose the best connector for your application
Why limit your power, DC design and functionality of your Electrical Enclosures by using the same tired, expensive industry-standard connections? Hughes offer a variety of exiting connector options to provide unsurpassed variable power handling and functionality. You can now build your bespoke box that meets your budget and functionality requirements.
