Abstract

A control box arrangement including at least one control box, the inside of which is sub-divided, or can be sub-divided, into a plurality of compartments which are arranged one above the other and can be closed in a sealing manner by associated doors with a peripheral sealing arrangement acting on the inside of the doors. The doors are connected, by one of the vertical sides thereof, to a frame of the control box in question by hinges in an articulated manner, and can be closed by a closing mechanism on the opposite vertical side. A first hinge section is fixed to a vertical section of the frame by a fixing section, and the door is mounted on an articulated section of the first hinge section in an articulated manner by a second hinge section applied thereto. A variable structural division of the inside of the control box and a corresponding arrangement of the doors is enabled if, in the closed state, the fixing section is arranged inside the peripheral sealing arrangement, while the articulated section is arranged outside the sealing arrangement.
