The EGH serves as a mechanical joint and at the same time provides a ground connection between the switch gear cabinet and the door. As with a conventional hinge, the bottom section is fitted to the switch gear cabinet and the top section to the door. The ground connection involves one flat Multilam on each side. A third Multilam guarantees the electrical connection in the joint pin.
With an IP66 degree of protection, the EGH is suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. There are two standard versions available for stainless steel and aluminum alloy housings, with versions for other housing surfaces available on request.
