Why Choose the ABB 831065 ARIA 64 IP66 Polyester Electrical Enclosure?
The ABB 831065 ARIA 64 is a robust, general-purpose electrical enclosure measuring 415 mm wide × 615 mm high × 230 mm deep, designed to house electrical distribution, control and switching equipment. Manufactured from hot-pressed, glass-fibre reinforced polyester, this enclosure combines mechanical strength, corrosion resistance and protective insulation for demanding electrical installation environments. Part of the ABB ARIA Enclosures range, it provides a practical housing solution for professional electrical panel builders and contractors.
Featuring an IP66 ingress protection rating and IK08 mechanical impact resistance, the ABB 831065 is designed to protect installed equipment against dust, powerful water jets and mechanical impacts when correctly assembled. Its RAL 7035 light grey construction is self-extinguishing and halogen-free, while the enclosure's 1,000 V rated insulation voltage supports appropriately designed low-voltage electrical assemblies. The non-metallic cabinet also provides protective insulation, making it suitable for applications where an insulated enclosure construction is required.
Identified by ABB extended product type AR064P33 and order code 4TBA831065C0100, this ARIA 64 enclosure incorporates a solid door with a 3 mm double-bit, three-point locking mechanism. The cabinet includes threaded mounting provisions for compatible mounting plates and frames, allowing the interior to be configured for different electrical applications. Its substantial 230 mm depth provides useful installation space for suitable equipment, wiring and accessories.

IP66 Protection and Three-Point Locking for Electrical Distribution Equipment
The ABB 831065 ARIA 64 enclosure provides a protective housing for electrical equipment installed in locations where dust, moisture and mechanical impacts must be considered. Its IP66 rating indicates dust-tight protection and resistance to powerful water jets under the relevant test conditions. The IK08 rating provides additional mechanical impact resistance. These characteristics make the enclosure suitable for a range of industrial, commercial and building services applications, provided the complete installation is designed for its environmental conditions.
The cabinet is manufactured from hot-pressed, glass-fibre reinforced polyester, a non-metallic material that combines rigidity with corrosion resistance and protective insulation. ABB specifies a 1,000 V rated insulation voltage and Class II protective insulation for the enclosure. Its material is also described as self-extinguishing and halogen-free, with continuous temperature resistance up to 70 °C and peak resistance up to 130 °C. These figures describe enclosure material characteristics rather than the permissible operating temperature of every component installed inside it.
The three-point locking system helps maintain consistent door closure across the enclosure opening, while the 3 mm double-bit lock provides a practical access arrangement for authorised personnel. Internally, threaded mounting provisions allow compatible ABB ARIA mounting plates and frames to be fitted for different equipment layouts. Mounting plates, electrical components and other accessories must be selected separately where required. Cable entries, glands, sealing arrangements and modifications must also be specified carefully to preserve the required protection rating of the completed assembly.
