As is commonly known, some iron products may rust over time, and if not properly addressed, this can shorten the lifespan of equipment. Take explosion-proof distribution boxes, for example. How should one prevent rusting, especially if installed in a humid environment? Here are some tips:
1. Surface Powder Coating
Typically, equipment is treated with high-pressure electrostatic powder coating before leaving the factory. However, the quality of this coating is not always guaranteed. High-quality powder can prevent rusting, but some manufacturers use lower quality powder to increase profits, leading to rusting soon after deployment.
2. Installation of Rain Shields
Consider installing rain shields, especially for outdoor equipment, to prevent rainwater from entering and accelerating rust formation. When purchasing, request the manufacturer to provide equipment with rain shields.
