B-LINE AC-1248T – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the B-Line AC-1248T a complete console enclosure or just part of one?
The AC-1248T is the top assembly only. It's the upper console section that mounts onto the AC-1248B base, so you need both pieces to build out a complete Type-12-AW-12 console. Ordering the top alone leaves you without the base cabinet.
2) Will a NEMA 12 console like the AC-1248T hold up in a washdown or outdoor area?
No. NEMA 12 covers indoor use against dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids. It is not a washdown or outdoor rating, so if the panel sees hose-down cleaning or weather you want a Type 4 or 4X enclosure instead. For a plant floor, control room, or indoor machine line, NEMA 12 is the normal choice.
3) What part number do I order for the console base that goes with the AC-1248T?
The matching base is the Eaton B-Line AC-1248B. The AC-1248T top is built to sit on that base, and the two together make the Type-12-AW-12 console. Specify both line items on the order.
4) What are the dimensions and weight of the AC-1248T console top?
It measures 38.87 in wide, 26.87 in high, and 26.87 in deep, and weighs 76.824 lb. That weight matters for handling: it's a two-person lift onto the base, and if you're setting it on a mezzanine or platform check the floor loading with the base and installed panel gear added in.
5) Is the B-Line AC-1248T certified for use in Canada?
The AC-1248T console top carries CSA certification, which is what an inspector on a Canadian job will be looking for on the enclosure. That's the certification held on record for this assembly.
6) Why choose a console enclosure instead of a standard wall-mount or freestanding control cabinet?
A console puts an angled operator face at standing height over a deeper base cabinet, so HMIs, pushbuttons and selector switches sit where an operator can read and reach them while the wiring and controls live below. A flat wall-mount box is cheaper and fine for gear nobody touches daily. Pick the console when there is a human working at the panel through the shift. The AC-1248T is the top half of that arrangement, with a 38.87 in wide operator face.
7) What color and finish does the AC-1248T come in, and will it match our other enclosures?
ANSI 61 gray, applied as a polyester powder coat. ANSI 61 is the standard industrial control enclosure gray, so it will sit alongside most existing B-Line and other manufacturers' control cabinets without looking off. It is a single finish, no color options on this part.
8) Does the AC-1248T come with a subpanel or mounting hardware for the devices I install in it?
The AC-1248T is supplied as the console top assembly in NEMA 12 construction with the ANSI 61 gray powder finish. Panel-mounting components and operator devices are separate items, so plan those as their own line items on the order.
