Explore our factory-engineered portfolio of SMC fiberglass and stainless steel multi-position metering enclosures, cable distribution cabinets, and grid-connection hardware.
Decentralized energy models, accelerated urbanization, and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) require enclosure systems that deliver unmatched non-conductive safety, tamper suppression, and long operational lifespans.
Utility non-technical losses (electricity theft) continue to strain municipal distributors worldwide. Modern multi-meter enclosures feature partition architectures separating utility-exclusive busbar compartments from customer-accessible circuit breaker switches, supported by lead-seal locking hardware, magnetic sensor pockets, and concealed structural hinges.
As conventional mechanical counters give way to smart wireless electricity meters (NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, Cellular 4G/5G, Zigbee), traditional steel enclosures create a Faraday cage effect that degrades signals. Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) enclosures provide inherent electromagnetic transparency, enabling seamless data uplink without requiring external antenna punch-outs.
From saline coastal installations to desert developments subject to intense UV degradation, electrical enclosures face harsh operational environments. Compression-molded SMC thermoset composite achieves IK10 impact protection, self-extinguishing UL94-V0 flammability ratings, and zero rust oxidation across a 30-to-40-year design life.
Headquartered in Yueqing, Wenzhou—widely recognized as China's Electrical Capital—Zhejiang Teyi Electric integrates upstream raw composite formulations with automated high-tonnage compression forming lines to deliver predictable quality and rapid delivery turnaround.
Our facility operates multi-axis automated hydraulic press lines up to 2,000 metric tons. Precision steel molds maintained under tight temperature control provide uniform resin curing, consistent wall thickness, high structural flatness, and zero air pocket voids in high-density multi-meter shells.
Direct geographic integration with over 4,000 sub-component specialists in Yueqing provides instant access to certified copper terminal blocks, flame-retardant DIN-rail brackets, sealable optical windows, and industrial-grade cable glands, shortening standard OEM cycle times by up to 40%.
Every batch undergoes strict verification, including 650°C/960°C glow-wire tests, dielectric insulation resistance checks, high-impact drop tests, and cyclic environmental aging tests (-40°C to +80°C). This ensures zero field degradation across major national grid utility tenders.
Technical performance evaluation across enclosure materials for EPC contractors and grid procurement engineers.

| RF Transparency for AMI / Smart Meters | 100% RF Transparent (Zero signal loss) | Zero Transmission (Blocks antenna data) | High Transparency |
| Environmental Salt-Fog / Rust Resistance | Impervious to oxidation, acids, salts | Excellent, but welds remain vulnerable | Degrades and yellows under direct sun |
| Thermal Stability & Fire Resistance | UL94-V0, Glow-wire 960°C self-extinguishing | Non-combustible | Melts, drips under continuous short circuit |
| Design Service Life Expectancy | 40+ Yrs (Indoor) / 30+ Yrs (Outdoor) | 25–35 Yrs (Subject to coastal salt stress) | 8–12 Yrs (Outdoor weather degraded) |
Engineered to adapt to distinct regional grid topologies, building codes, and ambient environmental conditions worldwide.
Centralized riser shaft configurations using TY-SXD2 single-phase multi-position cabinets (4 to 12 positions). Features concealed terminal wiring ducts, unified busbar feeders, and independent, padlocked utility viewing portals for clean multi-tenant installations.
Utilizing three-phase transformer-type metering cabinets (TY-SXS3 Series) designed for integrated Current Transformers (CT). Delivers accurate secondary circuit revenue tracking for heavy loads from 100A to 630A with dedicated sealable testing terminals.
Specialized bidirectional photovoltaic grid-connection boxes configured with integrated anti-islanding isolators, surge protective devices (SPD Type II), and dual bidirectional smart meter spaces for commercial rooftop and ground-mount PV arrays.
Floor-standing and pole-mounted outdoor distribution hubs (TY-DFW / JP Cabinets) built to withstand corrosive industrial zones, marine humidity, and dust contamination while feeding secondary multi-meter sub-panels.
Whether you require modifications to an existing utility tender design or a ground-up turnkey mold, our engineering division delivers fully documented compliance.
In-house CNC tooling workshops allow us to produce high-durability steel compression molds within 25–35 days. We accommodate unique dimensional envelopes, knockouts, mounting brackets, and brand embossing at minimal setup costs.
Save substantial on-site labor overhead by specifying pre-wired metering cabinets complete with busbars, auxiliary circuit breakers, terminal connectors, wiring looms, and security locks fully installed and tested prior to export packaging.
Modular knockdown and nestable shell geometries maximize shipping container cubic capacity. Combined with robust fumigated wooden pallets and moisture-barrier shrink-wrapping, your consignments arrive ready for utility deployment.
Direct technical answers to questions commonly raised by grid contractors, OEM buyers, and electrical engineers.
SMC is an electrical insulator that eliminates touch-voltage shock hazards and the need for enclosure protective grounding conductors. It provides superior corrosion resistance in high-humidity or marine environments, prevents RF attenuation for smart meters, and lowers overall freight and handling weight without sacrificing IK10 mechanical strength.
Our enclosures feature a strict two-compartment interior. The primary busbar and meter connection zone remains isolated behind a utility padlock and lead-sealable barrier. Tenants have external access only to their specific MCB/RCD toggle flaps, preventing unauthorized taps or meter tampering.
Yes. Through our CNC secondary machining line and adaptable mold modular inserts, we can alter meter window dimensions, DIN-rail orientations, knockout positions, and cable gland plates to match British Standard (BS), DIN, or specific utility metering dimensions.
Our standard multi-meter busbar arrays support continuous current ratings from 10A to 250A on direct-connected models, with transformer-rated cabinets (TY-SXS3) accommodating high-amperage lines up to 630A. Enclosures are short-circuit tested to withstand peak fault currents of up to 30 kA.
We provide full type-test verification dossiers covering IEC 62208 (enclosures for low-voltage switchgear), IEC 60529 (IP Ingress Protection), IEC 62262 (IK Impact Resistance), UL94-V0 flammability certificates, RoHS material declarations, and ISO 9001/14001 quality factory audit records.
