There are many different manufacturers of a variety of styles and options in electrical integrated enclosures, also known as E-Houses. Each of the different options in E Houses offers a selection of features and functions that can make it a good match for a given work site and operation.
When making a choice of E-Houses on the market, the first step should be a careful consideration of just what is required in the enclosure. This means knowing the actual square footage required for current electrical or other equipment, as well as if there is a need for possible expansion or extension of the equipment required in the future.
Options for access, mobility, and safety should also be carefully examined before making a purchase. This includes the need for blast proof designs, fire rated designs, and if issues such as remote monitoring of equipment are a requirement.
Mobility Matters
For most applications, E-Houses are designed to be highly mobile and to eliminate the cost of building a fixed structure in a location. The smaller designs of these structures are more mobile than the larger, and manufacturers offering the most effective use of the space able to produce more compact enclosures without any loss of performance or capability.
When larger structures are required, modular units are often the best solution. By purchasing from a manufacturer with the ability to customize the design to meet the specific needs of the site, costs can be reduced while the structures are ideally suited to the requirements.
Ready to Use
To decrease the time from installation to being fully up and running, manufacturers of these enclosures can pre-wire and integrate HVAC systems, programming and wiring as well as develop component mounting solutions for equipment. This allows the enclosure to be delivered ready to use with just minimal on-site work.
