Outdoor Weather-Resistant Wiring Tips for ZCEBOX Plastic Distribution Box Junction Boxes in Agricultural Irrigation Scenarios
In agricultural irrigation scenarios (field drip irrigation, greenhouse sprinkler irrigation, orchard irrigation), junction boxes need to withstand long-term outdoor wind, rain, ultraviolet rays, water-fertilizer corrosion and water pump vibration, and are prone to problems such as seal failure, loose wiring and terminal oxidation. ZCEBOX shares 2 targeted weather-resistant wiring tips to adapt to harsh outdoor agricultural working conditions:
1. Dual Protection of Weather Resistance and Corrosion Prevention
Model Adaptation: Prioritize ZCEBOX agricultural-specific weather-resistant models (protection level IP67+, UV resistance grade ≥5), with box body made of anti-aging modified PC material (suitable for -40℃~85℃ wide temperature range) to resist extreme temperature differences in fields;
Installation Sealing: Install ZCEBOX waterproof and breathable valves (waterproof level IP68, allowing moisture inside the box to discharge) at wiring holes, match agricultural-specific waterproof connectors (resistant to pesticide and water-fertilizer corrosion), wrap weather-resistant sealing tape at joints after tightening lock nuts to block liquid infiltration;
Corrosion Prevention Enhancement: Spray nano anti-fouling coating on the box surface (optional supporting protection kit) to avoid adhesion of muddy water and pesticide residues; terminals adopt nickel-plated anti-oxidation material to reduce corrosion risk in high-humidity field environments.
2. Long-Distance Wiring + Anti-Vibration Fixation Optimization
Wire Selection: For long-distance wiring (≤100m) in irrigation systems, use ZCEBOX tensile and sun-resistant agricultural-specific wires (wire diameter ≥1.5mm², tensile strength ≥150N) to avoid wire breakage caused by pulling in fields; signal wires (e.g., flow sensor, solenoid valve control wires) are equipped with PE protection tubes, buried at a depth of ≥30cm, and kept away from irrigation water pipes (distance ≥50cm) to prevent cable soaking due to water pipe rupture;
Anti-Vibration Fixation: Junction boxes around water pumps use ZCEBOX vibration-resistant mounting brackets (with built-in rubber buffer pads), terminals are tightened to 1.5-2.0N·m torque and then installed with anti-loose nuts; wires are fixed with agricultural-specific cable ties (anti-aging material) every 50cm to avoid wiring detachment caused by water pump operation vibration; reserve 10cm wire redundant length (fixed in "Ω-shape") to adapt to field equipment displacement adjustment.
Adapting to the outdoor characteristics of agricultural irrigation, ensuring long-term stable wiring and reducing field maintenance frequency.
