Hammond EP7230 72x30 Eclipse Inner Panel, White 12 Gauge Steel

Hammond's EP7230 is the Eclipse Series inner panel listed for a 72 x 30 enclosure. It gives control-panel builders, OEM engineers and electrical contractors a 12 gauge steel surface for mounting equipment inside the enclosure.

The EP7230 is the mild steel version, finished in recoatable powder white; if an unpainted galvanized panel is preferred, the matching part is EPG7230. The panel is 12 gauge steel and, as with the rest of the EP Series, is larger than the standard NEMA panel used in the same sized enclosure, which frees up extra mounting area.

Hammond's ordering table lists size D as 70.20 in (1783 mm) and size E as 28.20 in (716 mm). The part drawing shows overall panel dimensions of 28.17 in wide by 70.17 in high, a material thickness of 0.10 in, and 0.44 in diameter mounting slots at a spacing of 27.19 in across and 34.59 in + 34.59 in vertically. As one of the larger sizes, this panel has formed flanges for added strength; the drawing shows a 0.75 in flange dimension.

The slotted corner design is intended to make the panel easier to mount. It ships in a box with a shipping weight of 75 lbs (34.02 kg), and is listed as RoHS compliant and REACH compliant. The powder white finish is described by Hammond as recoatable.
