Modular Cover
Protective front panel with modular openings used to close the interior of electrical equipment while retaining access to installed modular devices.
A modular cover is intended to separate the internal space of a distribution assembly or electrical enclosure from the accessible service area. It covers live, connection, and mounting parts while leaving the front faces of installed modular devices accessible.
The panel may have one or more rows of standard modular openings. Unused portions of an opening may be closed with separate blanking plates or adjusted using breakaway segments provided by the design.
Depending on the version, the panel may be removable, hinged, or secured with screws and snap fasteners. The design may include marking areas, additional openings, and fixing elements.
Selection criteria include panel dimensions, number of rows and modular positions, opening geometry, breakaway segment dimensions, material, fixing method, and compatibility with the enclosure and installed equipment.
This subcategory includes front and internal modular protective panels, panels with cutouts for modular devices, panels with breakaway sections, and other protective elements for distribution assemblies.
