Why Choose the ABB 831025 ARIA 32 Polyester Electrical Enclosure?
The ABB 831025 ARIA 32 is a durable, general-purpose glass-fibre reinforced polyester electrical enclosure designed to protect electrical distribution, control and switching equipment. Measuring 215 mm wide × 315 mm high × 170 mm deep, this compact enclosure provides a practical solution for installations requiring reliable environmental protection and a secure, insulated housing.
Part of the ABB ARIA Enclosures range, the 831025 features an IP66 ingress protection rating and an IK08 mechanical impact resistance rating. Its hot-pressed, glass-fibre reinforced polyester construction provides excellent durability, while the light grey RAL 7035 finish offers a professional appearance. The enclosure is designed to protect installed equipment against dust, water ingress and mechanical impacts when correctly assembled and installed.
Identified by ABB manufacturer type AR032P13 and order code 4TBA831025C0100, this ARIA 32 enclosure incorporates a solid door with a 3 mm double-bit, single-point locking mechanism. Its protective insulation, self-extinguishing construction and 1,000 V rated insulation voltage make it suitable for a wide range of appropriately designed low-voltage electrical installations.

IP66 Polyester Enclosure Protection for Electrical Distribution and Control Equipment
The ABB ARIA 32 enclosure is designed to provide a protective housing for electrical components installed in environments where dust, moisture and mechanical damage must be considered. Its IP66 rating indicates complete protection against dust ingress and resistance to powerful water jets when the enclosure is correctly assembled. The IK08 rating provides an additional level of mechanical impact resistance, making the enclosure suitable for demanding electrical installation environments.
Unlike conventional steel cabinets, the ABB 831025 uses hot-pressed, glass-fibre reinforced polyester. This material offers corrosion resistance and protective insulation without relying on a metallic enclosure body. ABB specifies a 1,000 V rated insulation voltage, together with self-extinguishing and halogen-free material properties. The enclosure also withstands continuous temperatures up to 70 °C and peak temperatures up to 130 °C, although the operating temperature of installed equipment must be assessed separately.
The ARIA 32 modular accessory system allows the enclosure to be configured for different applications using suitable mounting plates, mounting frames and protective cover plates. For example, the compatible AR032M03 galvanised steel mounting plate can be used to mount electrical components, while the AR032D03 mounting frame supports compatible modular equipment arrangements. These accessories are separate product references and should be selected according to the intended assembly. Any cable entries, modifications or additional components must be installed using suitable methods that maintain the required protection rating.
