April 20, 2009 – Modular freestanding enclosures offer a number of key advantages when compared to traditional unibody enclosures. Many times these attributes are overlooked either out of a false perception of increased enclosure costs, a reluctance to change or a simple lack of awareness to the possible benefits of modular solutions.Rittal White Paper 103: The Practical Benefits of Modular Industrial Enclosures provides a clearer understanding, for both integrators and end users alike, of the benefits offered by modular enclosures and by doing so, demonstrates the savings that can be realized over the lifespan of an enclosure after factoring in common use and operating costs such as maintenance, modifications and expansions associated with typical industrial applications.
