It is necessary to carry out anti termite treatment on the outer shell of the lighting electrical Ready Board Box in response to the environmental characteristics of termite infestation in rural Africa. The formic acid secreted by termites can corrode metal shells, gnaw on cable insulation layers, and at least cause short circuits and equipment shutdowns, and at worst, may trigger fires, posing a serious threat to electrical safety.

It is recommended to adopt the following comprehensive protection technology:

Adopting high protection level and high-strength shell
The box shall be made of 2.5mm thick UV anti-aging PC engineering plastic, which has good corrosion resistance and can resist the corrosion of termite formic acid. At the same time, the overall protection level of the box should reach IP54 or above, ensuring good sealing and preventing termites from crawling in through gaps such as door seams and heat dissipation holes.

Implement physical isolation and structural sealing

Strictly block all possible channels that may enter the box: the inlet adopts a compression structure with a rubber ring and an encrypted sealing ring. By tightening the sealing ring and squeezing the rubber, it is tightly adhered to the cable sheath without leaving any gaps. Fine dust barriers or metal mesh should be installed at the heat dissipation holes to ensure heat dissipation and prevent termite invasion.
Through the combination of physical sealing and environmental control, the long-term stable operation of electrical ready boards in harsh rural environments in Africa can be effectively guaranteed.
