B-LINE AW7272AP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size enclosure does the B-Line AW7272AP mounting panel fit?
The AW7272AP aluminum back panel is made for 72 x 72 inch enclosures. It is one of the large NEMA flanged panels in the Eaton B-Line series, so it mounts inside that enclosure size rather than being a universal cut-to-fit sheet.
2) Is this back panel aluminum or painted steel, and does the finish affect grounding?
The AW7272AP is aluminum with a brushed finish, not painted steel. A brushed bare aluminum panel has no paint film to scrape for a bonding point, which is why many integrators prefer aluminum panels where equipment ground continuity through the panel matters. Aluminum also suits washdown and corrosive areas better than a painted panel that can chip.
3) Does this Eaton B-Line panel carry a NEMA rating?
NEMA is the certification listed for this panel, and it is described as a large NEMA flanged panel. The enclosure itself carries the NEMA type rating for the installation; the panel is the interior mounting surface for the 72 x 72 enclosure it goes in.
4) What is a flanged mounting panel and why choose it over a flat back panel?
A flanged panel has its edges turned to form a lip, which stiffens a large sheet and keeps it flat under the weight of mounted gear. On a panel this size, 68.87 in tall, that rigidity is the point: a flat unflanged sheet of the same span will oil-can and bow once drives, contactors and terminal blocks are loaded on it. Flat panels are fine for small enclosures and light loads.
5) What part number do I order for a 72 x 72 B-Line aluminum flanged back panel?
Order Eaton B-Line model AW7272AP. That single model number covers the brushed aluminum large flanged panel for 72 x 72 inch enclosures.
6) Can I drill and tap this panel for my own component layout?
Yes. It ships as a blank aluminum back panel, no pre-punched component pattern, so the panel shop lays out and drills or taps it to the drawing. Aluminum taps easily for 10-32 or 1/4-20 hardware, though for high-cycle or heavy gear many shops use through-bolts or clinch studs rather than tapping thin aluminum.
