The WHA865 is a robust IP65-rated plastic enclosure designed for weatherproof electrical installations where moisture or dust protection is critical. With 8 usable DIN ways, it’s ideal for EV chargers, garden distribution, garages, and small outbuildings.
Each unit includes Earth and Neutral bars for quick termination and neat internal wiring. The UV-stabilised housing resists cracking and deformation, while the clear front cover allows easy circuit identification once devices are fitted.
Installer Tip: The 8-way WHA865 is a great mid-size enclosure for outdoor EV installations where extra space is needed for surge devices or dual RCBO setups. Always leave adequate space for cable bending radius and neutral link routing.

- Supplied with Earth & Neutral bars and mounting fixings
- Compatible with standard MCBs, RCBOs, and SPDs
- UV-stabilised, weatherproof plastic housing
- Meets BS EN 61439 and 18th Edition Amendment 2 requirements
