Enclosures & Cabinets

The right enclosure for the environment

Nairobi Power Engineers supplies and fabricates electrical enclosures and cabinets for switchgear, control gear, metering and instrumentation. The enclosure is chosen for the IP rating, the internal heat load and the way the panel is maintained.

From wall-mount control boxes to floor-standing switchboards and weatherproof outdoor kiosks, we coordinate the gland plates, ventilation, internal chassis and cable entry so the finished assembly fits the site and the equipment inside it.

Enclosures are selected to IEC 60529 (IP) and, where relevant, IEC 62208 for empty enclosures, with anti-condensation control for outdoor and humid installations.

Cost and Estimates

What drives the cost

What affects the cost?

Size and IP rating, material (powder-coated steel or stainless), ventilation and climate control, gland plates and the internal chassis and mounting arrangement.

Get a detailed estimate

We quote the enclosure, the internal fit-out and any climate control as itemised lines so the specification is clear.

IP rating and environment

IP54/55 for dusty and washdown areas, IP65/66 for outdoor kiosks, with heaters or filtered fans where condensation or heat is a risk.

Built around your equipment

Gland plates, chassis and cable entry are arranged for the switchgear or control gear the enclosure will house.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose an IP rating?
Match it to the environment: IP54/55 indoor dusty or washdown, IP65/66 outdoor. We advise from the installation and any hosing or dust exposure.
Do enclosures need ventilation?
If the internal heat load is significant, yes — filtered fans or vents, or a cooling unit for high-density panels. Our sizing calculator gives a starting current for the load inside.
Steel or stainless?
Powder-coated steel suits most indoor and sheltered outdoor use; stainless is specified for corrosive or coastal environments.
Can you fabricate custom sizes?
Yes, we fabricate to the equipment and site, including gland plates and internal chassis to suit.
