Completely bolted system for ease of assembly

The entire system is assembled with the help of bolts
thus making its assembly fast. With this bolted system,
various combinations can be possible and it also saves
time during assembly, installation, maintenance and
extension operations.

Design compatible with Zucchini busbar trunking system

Zucchini can be directly mounted on the top of the
panel making entire solution an integrated solution.

Flexibility & Adaptability

Modular design for numerous configurations as per requirements

Due to the modularity of the structure, it is possible to
join enclosures side by side or back to back. Numerous
configurations can therefore be created to meet the
specific requirements of services areas. So, it is easy
to make the configuration you want.

Design suitable for form 4b

The design is suitable for achieving form 4b thus
making it a universal solution for all needs.

Permanent earthing for internal components as well as external faceplates

All metallic parts are permanently earthed making it
safe for use during the operation. The uprights, doors,
faceplates, side, back & top covers are earthed with
earth link to the nearest earthing point. The earthing is
not disconnected at any point of time during operation
as well as during maintenance. It keeps the entire

Adjustable cable gland plates

The wiring sleeves are provided at the bottom for all
the cubicles with sliding plates. Sliding plates enable
the size of the aperture to be adapted as per the size of
the cable to be fed through.

For bases whose width and depth are identical, the direction
of the runners on the cable gland plate can be reversed

Sliding plates enable the size of the aperture to be adapted For enclosures whose width and depth are identical, the

Universal linking pieces to offer better flexibility

Linking pieces are used for mounting external doors
for IP55, joining cubes and for mounting the side &
back covers, thus making it universal.

The linking pieces are also Fitting the pin

Adjustable plinth height for better spreading of cables

The plinth has got the height of 100 mm made of 4
corners and side plates. The side plates can be
removed to make a path for cable entry. Plinths can be
placed on top of each other for better spreading of the
cables.

The certificate is valid

for one year

For the very first time, Legrand brings the concept of manufacturing
of XL3 enclosures under Legrand License. Under this concept the
selected premium panel builder partners shall manufacture XL3 enclosures
in their own manufacturing facilities. The premium panel builder partners
are selected by Legrand on the basis of their reputation and the quality of
the technical solutions they offer to the market. These premium panel
builder partners have been audited to check whether the structure, quality
standards and their professional approach is in line with that of Legrand.
Also they are tested and verified for the reliability & perfection of an
installation. Each year, the Legrand experts will carry out the audit of their
assembly lines in order to ensure that their know-how continues to meet
the brand's quality demands. The partners are awarded License certificate
and audit certificate.
The premium panel builder partners guarantee high quality enclosures
and provide you with their expertise to make the most suitable configurations
to meet the needs of all your sites. The premium panel builder partners
will manufacture XL3 enclosures that are ready to be installed and are pre-
fitted according to your requirement in order to best meet the time saving
requirement and at the same time comply with the quality standards. The
XL3 enclosures shall be delivered with Legrand components. The XL3
enclosures would be sold under the “License Legrand” brand.
With the premium panel builder partnership program Legrand offers the
best solution to its customers that also meets the requirements of the IEC
standard.
