Talk:Electrical enclosure

My first edit to a page to add a link, but I'm not sure if it should be reference link instead. It's certainly good to have a link to the NEMA types from this page though. Perhaps even a page with shorter descriptions of the types would be in order? Thoughts? -BenODen.

Hmm, two weeks later, the addition is not there, does this happen often that changes are delayed? -BenODen —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.252.213.201 (talk) 17:17, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

It may be difficult to know what has happened to an anonymous contribution; ie one made without signing in. Jim.henderson (talk) 22:20, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Huh, I could have sworn I signed in to make the contribution. maybe it's just that I wasn't signed in at the time I made the talk contribution. (I am a wikipedia editor newbie, it is true, but I'm teachable...) Should I make the changes again? Additionally, the NEC link seems to be dead now. "Nema enclosure rating system" seems to yeild quite a few results that would have to be plowed through to get a good link, but I'd be willing to do the footwork...

Pictures show only large enclosures

My opinion is that it would be better to have one example picture of a large enclosure and another for a small enclosure. Something like a DVD player for example. Then the pictures support the wide range of items for which the term enclosure is applicable.

Aluminum Enclosures

"This material is chosen because it is the least electrically conductive metal, therefore, it has a high electrical resistance." Say what??? Aluminum has the lowest resistivity second only to copper and silver. The reasons for using aluminum may be light weight, or ease of manufacture (specifically casting). Perhaps the writer was confused by the fact that anodized aluminum has a high resistance coating of oxide. This however is not useful as electrical insulation, as it is easily breached by sharp objects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.101.156.3 (talk) 16:01, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Thx for pointing that out – I've changed the statements according to the source. --Zac67 (talk) 17:15, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Numbering

Mention the coordinates found on their cement bases or sides are the same as Utility_pole#Coordinates on pole tags. Jidanni (talk) 21:06, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
