JPC Design concept of the Y0 types enclosures
1. Design concept of the Y0 types
The design of the Y0 enclosures was made to provide a starting range with a particular selection of low cost solutions. The plastic used is PC-ABC compound, with or without fiberglass reinforcement. This material combines good mechanical strength, good resistance to deformation under load according to ASTM D648 (98 °C for the version without fiberglass and 125 ° C for the 20% fiberglass version), fire resistance UL94-V0 and a glow wire test 650 ° C to meet the major specifications of EN60335 relating to domestic heating units.
The covers are snapped or use self-tapping screws. Cable glands, when present, are made of polyamide.
Shafts and buttons wall crossings comply IPX0, IPX1 or IPX2, IPX3, IPX4 class, depending on the model.
The housings for oil filled radiators or convectors are supplied without control and are designed to receive standard electronic controls of French suppliers (Cotherm, Watts, Delta Dore etc …)
Caution: Protection class IP is given for a specified enclosure position. Installation and assembly of electronic cards by customer can modify this class of protection
For industrial applications: products should be defined according to the specific application and its specific environmental constraints.
1.1 Y0 enclosures with external shaft or button: Water ingress protection ratings
IPX1 | IPX2 | IPX3 | IPX4 |
Protection against dripping water (condensation), the enclosure being in its normal position. Examples of construction: – Openings in the housing at the bottom or louvres on side are possible. – The adjustment shaft is covered by a handle or protected by a rib on the housing |
Protection against falling of drops of water, whereby the enclosure can be inclined by 15 ° relative to its normal position. Examples of construction: – Openings in the housing at the bottom or louvres on side having at least an angle of 30° are possible. – The adjustment shaft is protected by a cap or knob with a flanged bezel with cover or a rib on the housing |
Protection against rainwater, as long as it has not at an angle greater than 60 ° to the vertical Examples of construction: – Openings in the housing at the bottom or louvres on side having at least an angle of 60 ° are possible. – The adjustment shaft is protected by a screw cap or a knob with labyrinth |
Protection against splashing water splashes in all directions. Examples of construction: – Openings in the housing are not possible, even at the bottom if they are not protected by a seal or appropriate labyrinth. – The adjustment shaft is protected by a screw cap or a knob with triple labyrinth. Louvres are possible but difficult |
1.2 Y0 enclosures with outside adjustment or button: Protection of persons against access to hazardous parts and protection of equipment against ingress of solid objects
IPX1 | IPX2 | IPX3 | IPX4 |
Protected against solid objects bigger than 50 mm (eg accidental contact of the hand) Examples of construction: Enclosures or covers whose output does not have cable gland, if its bore has a diameter ≥ ISO M12 or> PG7 |
Protected against solid objects bigger than 12 mm (eg finger) Examples of construction: Enclosures or covers whose output does not have cable gland, if its bore has a diameter less than or equal to 12mm (<or ISO M12 <PG7) |
Protected against solidobjets bigger than 2.5 mm (eg tools, wires) Examples of construction: Enclosures with air circulation holes smaller than 2.5mm ( Room thermostats, room humidistats, temperature sensors and humidity sensors) |
Protected against solid objects bigger than 1 mm (eg small tools, small wires) Examples of construction: Closed enclosures, without gasket between cover and base, and seamless adjustment shaft, or without protection cap on external buttons . |
Examples of standards which we recommend you refer to define technical needs for domestic appliances: Room heaters (IEC60335-2-30),
Heaters that are built into air conditioners (IEC 60335-2-40); Clothes dryers and towel rails (IEC 60335-2-43); Heaters for saunas (IEC 60335-2-53); Thermal-storage room heaters (IEC 60335-2-61); Heating appliances for breeding and rearing animals (IEC 60335-2-71); Foot warmers and heating mats (IEC 60335-2-81); Flexible sheet heating elements for room heating (IEC 60335-2-96); Heating cables (IEC 60800).
2. Empty enclosure for oil filled electric radiators, with single tube heating element and electronic temperature control, Type Y01
These boxes are mounted on the outer threaded ½ “ single tube heating elements in oil filled radiators. They are designed to accommodate existing electronic cards from manufacturers such as Cotherm, Delta Dore etc …
Their IP protection class allows them to be mounted in most domestic applications.
They are designed to respond to a class II insulation: creepage distances and clearances between the metal parts or live parts are greater than or equal to 8mm (Indicative values, which may vary according to internal electronic circuits)
The minimum plastic wall thickness is 1.6 mm.
They can be supplied with mains cable with pull out force greater than 10 daN.
The development of these boxes is on customer specifications.
