The Alpha Micro are designed with NEMA 3R rated enclosures for outdoor applications. Three different enclo- sures exist: (1) standard Micro, (2) Micro XL, and (3) Micro XL3. Each of these enclosures can be configured with the 300 W or the 1000 W power module (E-Module). Although the end system configuration may look different, the front panel connectors and circuit breakers along with the input and output terminal blocks are functionally the same.
