Schneider MH38BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What heights does the Schneider NQ/NF Type 1 panelboard enclosure box come in?
Four box heights are offered: 32 inch (MH32BE), 38 inch (MH38BE), 50 inch (MH50BE) and 56 inch (MH56BE). All four share the same 20 inch width and 5.75 inch depth, so the height is the only thing you pick based on how many circuits and how much gutter space the interior needs.
2) Will this box fit in a 2x4 stud wall or does it need a deeper cavity?
The box is 5.75 inches deep, which is more than a 2x4 stud wall (3-1/2 inch cavity) will take flush. For recessed mounting you need a 2x6 wall, a furred-out wall, or a masonry pocket. In a 2x4 wall it has to be surface mounted or the wall has to be built out.
3) Which panelboard interiors does this Schneider enclosure box accept?
It is built for Schneider Electric NQ and NF panelboard interiors. The box is the shell only, so the interior and the trim/front are ordered separately and must be matched to the same NQ or NF series and to the box height you choose.
4) Can this NEMA 1 enclosure be installed outdoors or in a wash-down area?
No. NEMA 1 is indoor only, giving protection against dust and incidental contact with the enclosed equipment. It offers no rating against rain, hose-down, or wet locations. For a parking garage, a rooftop, a kitchen, or a mechanical room subject to water, you need a Type 3R or Type 4 enclosure instead.
5) Do I get the cover and the breaker interior with this NQ/NF box, or just the can?
Just the can. What ships is the steel enclosure box with blank end walls, 20 inches wide and 5.75 inches deep, in your chosen height. The NQ or NF interior, the breakers, and the front trim are separate line items and have to be ordered to match.
6) What does blank end wall mean on a panelboard enclosure box, and when would I want it?
Blank end walls means the top and bottom walls ship solid, with no factory knockouts. You drill or punch your own conduit openings exactly where the raceway lands, which is what most commercial jobs want when feeder and branch conduit positions are set by the drawings rather than by a stock knockout pattern. If you would rather have preset openings, that is a different end wall configuration.
7) I am standardizing panel cans across several buildings. Can I use one box height everywhere?
You can standardize on width and depth without thinking about it, since every version is 20 inches wide and 5.75 inches deep. Height is what changes: 32, 38, 50 and 56 inches. Pick the height off the largest interior and circuit count you expect to install, and the same wall prep depth works across the fleet.
8) What is the box made of, and will it take a painted or field-modified finish?
Steel construction throughout. Since the end walls ship blank, field drilling for conduit is expected, and steel takes standard hole saws, knockout punches, and touch-up paint at cut edges. Deburr and protect any cut opening before pulling conductors.
9) Does this Schneider enclosure meet environmental procurement requirements for a green building spec?
For LEED-style documentation the box is mercury-free and free of toxic heavy metals, and it is reported free of REACH Substances of Very High Concern above the threshold. Schneider publishes an environmental profile under reference ENVPEP1404010EN. Note the packaging is not made with recycled cardboard, though it does ship without single-use plastic, and recycled metal content is listed at 0%.
10) Where is this Schneider panelboard enclosure made, for Buy American style requirements?
Country of origin is the United States. Confirm the specific requirement your project is written to, since domestic-content rules differ between Buy American, Buy America, and TAA.
