B-LINE AW3630AP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size enclosure does the B-Line AW3630AP mounting panel fit?
The AW3630AP aluminum panel is made for 36 inch by 30 inch enclosures. The panel itself measures 27 inches wide, 31 inches high, and 26.875 inches on the length/depth dimension listed, so it sits inside the enclosure body rather than matching the enclosure's outside dimensions. If your box is a different size, this panel is the wrong part number.
2) Is the AW3630AP panel meant for fiberglass enclosures or steel ones?
It is a flat panel for fiberglass enclosures. Fiberglass boxes use flat back panels because there is no formed steel return to work around. If you are outfitting a painted steel or stainless box, order the panel specified for that enclosure line instead.
3) Is this back panel steel or aluminum, and does that matter for a washdown or coastal install?
Aluminum. That is the reason a lot of specs call it out over steel in wet, humid, or salt-air locations, since it will not rust the way a painted steel panel does once the coating gets scratched during drilling and tapping. It also keeps the panel light at about 9.073 lb, which is a real difference when one person is setting it into a wall-mounted fiberglass box overhead.
4) Can I drill and tap this B-Line panel for my own DIN rail and terminal blocks?
That is what a subpanel is for. The AW3630AP ships as a flat blank aluminum sheet with no pre-punched device pattern, so you lay out and drill for DIN rail, wireway, contactors, or terminal blocks wherever your drawing puts them. Aluminum taps easily, but plan on machine screws into tapped holes or through-bolts with nuts for anything heavy.
5) Does a B-Line aluminum mounting panel carry any enclosure rating on its own?
The AW3630AP is listed to NEMA. Keep in mind the environmental rating of a finished assembly comes from the enclosure and its gasketing, not the back panel, so the panel does not add or change the NEMA type of the box it goes into.
6) Is the aluminum panel electrically conductive for grounding purposes?
Aluminum is conductive, so an aluminum subpanel can be bonded and used as a ground reference point, unlike a painted steel panel where the finish has to be scraped or a paint-piercing washer used at the bonding screw. Follow your local code and the enclosure manufacturer's bonding instructions for the actual grounding means.
