PM

The PM is the basic power module component. PM components are
fabricated from 0.090 T6061 aluminum plate, and are powder-coated to
prevent corrosion (except the blanks for unused breaker openings).
Included are the lid, the back and sides, two blanks, the door and
associated baffles and screens, door latches, neoprene gaskets, and
aluminum brackets for securing the module to a concrete pad or wooden
platform. The gaskets, baffles, and screens for the door and cabinet
bottom prevent insects and small animals from entering the cabinets.
Install the neoprene perimeter gasket only after all PM’s and PM-ADD’s
have been set atop each other to ensure complete sealing.
