Transfer Switch Enclosure
The standard switch enclosure is a National Electrical
Manufacturer’s Association (NEMA) and UL/CUL 3R
type. UL/CUL and NEMA 3R (indoor/outdoor rated) type
enclosures primarily provide a degree of protection
against falling rain and sleet; are undamaged by the
formation of ice on the enclosure.
