Watertight Distribution Box 18 Modules + 8 Openings 90x100

The Schneider Electric 13182 watertight distribution box is a surface-mounted enclosure from the Kaedra / Mureva range designed to combine modular switchgear with socket outlets, pushbuttons, and other devices. It features one row for 18 modules of 18 mm and 8 openings of 90 x 100 mm, offering a versatile solution for electrical panels in residential, commercial, and industrial installations.

Thanks to its IP65 and IK09 protection ratings, self-extinguishing polymer housing, and class II electrical insulation, it is designed for installations where high protection against dust, water, and mechanical impacts is required. Schneider Electric indicates it can be used both indoors and outdoors.

Schneider Electric Kaedra watertight box with 18 modules

Reference 13182 includes a modular area equipped with a DIN rail for installing protection, switching, and control devices in 18 mm modular format.

The box includes:

• 1 horizontal row.
• 18 modules of 18 mm per row.
• 8 interface openings of 90 x 100 mm.
• Integrated DIN rail.
• Transparent front door.

This configuration makes it possible to combine the electrical protections and the sockets or control elements required for the installation in a single enclosure.

8 openings of 90 x 100 mm for sockets and devices

The lower part of the box incorporates 8 standardized openings of 90 x 100 mm, intended for the installation of socket outlets and other devices compatible with the Schneider Electric range.

According to Schneider Electric documentation, reference 13182 is supplied with 8 reducing plates for 65 x 85 mm sockets and 2 plates for pushbutton controls. This makes it easy to adapt the openings to different range elements.

Schneider Electric provides for the installation of industrial or domestic sockets and data connector bases using the corresponding accessories.

IP65 protection for indoor and outdoor use

The box has an IP65 protection rating. This classification provides protection against dust ingress and water jets, provided the enclosure, devices, and cable entries are correctly installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Thanks to this feature, it can be used in indoor and outdoor installations where a more protected enclosure is required than a conventional electrical panel.

It is especially suitable for:

• Garages and parking areas.
• Workshops.
• Warehouses.
• Technical rooms.
• Industrial installations.
• Protected outdoor areas.
• Distribution boards with socket outlets.
• Residential and commercial installations exposed to dust or moisture.

IK09 mechanical resistance

In addition to its watertightness, the enclosure offers an IK09 impact resistance rating. This feature provides robustness against accidental knocks and allows it to be used in technical environments where the panel may be more exposed to mechanical stress.

The combination IP65 + IK09 provides suitable protection for many professional indoor and outdoor applications.

Class II with double insulation

The Schneider Electric 13182 features class II electrical insulation through double insulation. The insulating design of the enclosure helps provide protection against contact with electrical parts within the installation conditions intended by the manufacturer.

The housing is made of self-extinguishing polymer, a material selected for use in electrical enclosures and distribution boards.

Transparent door for viewing the switchgear

The area for modular devices includes a transparent green-toned door. This makes it possible to visually check the status of miniature circuit breakers, residual current devices, and other installed devices without opening the box.

The enclosure body has a light grey RAL 7035 finish, common in professional electrical panels and equipment.

Surface mounting installation

The Schneider Electric 13182 box is designed for surface mounting. Its dimensions allow both the modular switchgear and the elements installed in the eight lower openings to be housed.

Cabling can be introduced into the box through the предусмотрed entries in the enclosure. The technical documentation indicates the presence of 17 PG/ISO knockouts, making it easier to adapt the entries to the cable layout of each installation.

Dimensions of the Schneider Electric 13182 box

• Width: 448 mm.
• Height: 460 mm.
• Depth: 160 mm.
• Internal depth: 91 mm.
• Opening size: 90 x 100 mm.
• Approximate weight: 3.4 kg.

Its format makes it possible to integrate a large electrical distribution area and up to eight devices in a single assembly, avoiding the need to install different separate boxes.

Rated current and dissipation

Schneider Electric specifies for this enclosure a rated current of up to 90 A and a dissipation power of 39 W.

These values should be considered together with the actual configuration of the installed switchgear, environmental conditions, wiring, and mounting instructions to ensure a properly sized installation.

Supplied equipment

Schneider Electric technical documentation specifies the following equipment for the enclosure:

• DIN rail for modular switchgear.
• 8 plates for 65 x 85 mm socket outlets.
• 2 plates for pushbutton controls.
• 2 cable retaining elements.
• Transparent front door.

The version currently marketed by Schneider Electric is identified as without terminal block, so any additional connection elements required must be selected according to the panel configuration.

Compatible with Schneider Electric sockets and devices

The eight openings provide high flexibility to configure the panel according to project needs. Schneider Electric documents the use of this box with domestic and industrial sockets, pushbuttons, pilot lights, and data connection bases using the corresponding plates and adapters.

The supplied reducing plates allow the openings to be converted from 90 x 100 mm to 65 x 85 mm format for certain compatible devices.
