Why Choose the Rittal SE5846.500 SE Free-Standing Enclosure?
The Rittal SE5846.500 is a large-format SE free-standing enclosure system designed to house electrical, automation and control equipment in demanding industrial installations. With external dimensions of 1800 × 2000 × 500 mm (W × H × D), it provides extensive internal space for complex control systems, power distribution equipment and large component assemblies.
Unlike modular baying enclosure systems, the Rittal SE concept combines the roof and side panels into a single enclosure body. This reduces the number of individual enclosure components and eliminates unnecessary joints between separate side panels and the roof, providing a practical solution for applications where a large standalone enclosure is required rather than a bayed suite.
Manufactured from robust sheet steel, the SE5846.500 provides IP55 protection for installed equipment when correctly configured and installed. Its free-standing format, large 1800 mm width and 500 mm depth make it particularly suitable for industrial control panels, machinery systems and electrical distribution applications requiring substantial installation capacity.

Large Free-Standing Enclosures for Industrial Control Systems
Free-standing electrical enclosures provide the installation capacity required for larger automation and power-control systems while protecting sensitive components from the surrounding industrial environment. They are commonly used where wall-mounted cabinets do not provide sufficient space and where a standalone enclosure is more appropriate than a multi-enclosure baying arrangement.
The Rittal SE5846.500 combines a substantial 1800 mm width, 2000 mm height and 500 mm depth with an integrated SE enclosure construction and IP55 protection. This makes it a practical platform for building large control panels containing switchgear, drives, PLC equipment, power supplies, terminals and other industrial electrical components.
Typical Applications
- Large industrial control panels.
- Factory automation and production systems.
- Machine and plant engineering installations.
- Electrical power-distribution assemblies.
- PLC, drive and motor-control systems.
- Process-control and industrial instrumentation equipment.
