Electrical Enclosure Backplate: The Ultimate FAQ Guide

What is Electrical Enclosure Backplate?

A backplate is a piece of material (normally flat), installed in the electrical enclosure panel just a few millimeters from the back panel.

You can also refer to it as an interior panel or mounting plate of the electrical enclosure.

Electrical enclosure backplate comes in different sizes (height, width, and thickness), besides varying material options.

Why do You Need Electrical Enclosure Backplate?

Fully assembled backplate

• For easy and secure mounting of components in the electrical enclosure
• Allows easy access of components
• Protects components from direct contact with the electrical enclosure back panel
• No need to drill external back panel of the enclosure which can compromise NEMA or IP ratings. Simply drill the backplate to mount components without deforming external wall of the enclosure
• It can help in electrical enclosure cable management. You can make cables run behind the electrical enclosure.

Is Enclosure Backplate Same as Mounting Plate?

Yes.

In fact, you can also refer to enclosure backplate and electrical enclosure mounting plate.

Also, you can also use electrical enclosure backplane.

Depending on their design, you can go for fixed or removable enclosure backplate.

Can You Install DIN Rail on Enclosure Backplate?

Yes.

Installing DIN rail on enclosure backplate makes cable management and component mounting convenient, easier and simple.

Are Electrical Enclosure Backplate UL Certified?

High-quality electrical enclosure backplate must be UL certified.

Such enclosure backplate will not burn, catch fire or overheat whenever electrical components dissipate heat.

It must pass strict quality testing and withstand the maximum heat load of the electrical enclosure.

How Safe is Electrical Enclosure Backplate?

Electrical enclosure backplate is made of high-grade material that can withstand maximum heat load of electrical enclosure.

Every enclosure mounting plate must pass strict quality test standards to ensure it does not overheat, corrode, or weaken.

Always buy your electrical enclosure mounting plates from reliable and reputable manufacturers.

Does Enclosure Backplate have Pre Drilled Holes?

In most cases, enclosure mounting plates will come with at least four holes that allow for fast mounting in the electrical cabinet.

However, depending on your cable management needs and a number of components, you may drill additional holes.

But even as you drill holes on the electrical enclosure backplate, use the right tools and equipment.

It will prevent possible damage to the electrical enclosure mounting plate.

Can Electrical Enclosure Backplate Dissipate Heat?

It will depend on the type of material.

Electrical enclosure backplate made from metals such as aluminum or steel will help dissipate some heat.

More importantly, if you’re using cooling systems such as electrical enclosure fans, they will provide a large surface area for cooling.

What is the Recommended Space between Backplate and Back Wall of Electrical Enclosure?

You should install enclosure backplate centrally within the electrical cabinet.

Normally, the distance between the backplate and back wall of an enclosure will be a few inches (1 or 2 inches and at times more, or less).

However, this will depend on:

i. Size of the components you want to mount on the backplate – leave reasonable allowance between the components and enclosure door. They must not touch the enclosure door.

ii. Whether you want to use the enclosure mounting plate for cable management or not. For large cables, you must leave a reasonable allowance for the cable installation.

iii. Type of mechanism for fixing components

Can You Recommend Electrical enclosure Backplate Material?

The choice of electrical enclosure backplate will depend on the type of enclosure material and components you want to mount.

You can choose any of the following materials:

• Fiberglass backplate
• Aluminum backplate
• Steel backplate
• Perforated backplate (it can be any of the above materials)
• Backplate made from composite material
• Stainless steel backplate, etc.

Furthermore, you can consider conductive or non-conductive backplate that has been treated to be corrosion resistant.

Is Enclosure Backplate NEMA Rated?

No.

However, NEMA rated enclosures have a backplate.

Normally, when we talk of NEMA rated enclosure, it covers every aspect of the electrical enclosure, from:

• Enclosure ventilation system
• Windows for electrical enclosure
• Electrical enclosure latches
• Enclosure heating systems, etc.

The rating does not focus on a single component or section of the electrical enclosure.

How Do You Assemble Components on Enclosure Backplate?

Step 1: Ensure the backplate perfectly fits the electrical enclosure

Step 2: Determine the distance between the mounting plate and back panel of the enclosure

Step 3: Drill any extra holes (if necessary) where you will mount components, DIN rail, and cable management

Step 4: Mount component on the backplate then fix it on the enclosure

Note: In case you need to add more components in the future, you don’t have to disassemble the backplate.

You can add the components when the backplate is fixed on the enclosure.

What is the Minimum Thickness for Enclosure Backplate?

Most enclosure mounting plates are about 3mm thick.

However, the thickness will vary depending on the components you intend to mount.

Heavy electrical components require backplate with high thickness to support the weight, and vice versa.
