Electrical Metal Rating Plates
Rating plates built for electrical enclosures, holding voltage, warning, and spec data through heat and vibration.
Description
Electrical enclosures need rating data that stays legible near heat and vibration. Voltage, current, and warning text must stay sharp for the life of the panel. Himgo makes this plate for electrical spec and warning fields specifically, not general asset tagging. Data stays etched or engraved into the metal, not printed on a sticker.
Where it fits
- Voltage and current rating labels on control cabinets
- Warning and hazard text on electrical enclosures
- Model and spec data on transformers and switchgear
- Panels exposed to heat near electrical components
Common sizes
Sizes commonly ordered: 80x40mm, 100x60mm, 120x80mm, up to 200x100mm for larger panels. Thickness runs 0.3-3mm. Custom sizes are cut to your drawing.
Materials & finishes
Anodized aluminum (5-25 micron, hard anodize to 70 micron) is common here. The oxide layer helps insulate the surface and holds warning text under heat. Stainless 304/316 suits enclosures needing more mechanical strength. Matte finish keeps warning text readable under panel lighting, without glare.
Typical applications
| Industry / setting | How this product is used |
|---|---|
| Electrical switchgear and distribution panels | Rating plates mounted on panel doors list voltage, amperage, and short-circuit rating data for electricians. |
| Pad-mount and pole-mount transformers | Rating plates fixed to transformer tanks list kVA, voltage ratio, and impedance data. |
| Motor control centers | Rating plates on MCC bucket doors list motor horsepower and full-load amperage. |
| Solar inverter and battery storage cabinets | Rating plates on enclosure exteriors list DC input and AC output ratings for installers and inspectors. |
