Background

The Saime EOLE 3S and 3XLS are electrical enclosures manufactured by Saime SG, a Chilean company specializing in electrical installation products. These models are commonly used to house and protect circuit breakers, wiring, and other electrical components in homes, commercial buildings, and light industrial settings.

Made from durable polycarbonate material, the EOLE 3 series offers protection against dust, impacts, and environmental hazards. Designed with safety and accessibility in mind, they comply with national and international standards for electrical equipment housings. These enclosures are notable for their modular design, ease of installation, and resistance to UV exposure.

Over time, common issues with these units include broken latches, cracked housings, seal deterioration, and mounting hardware wear. Providing repair information for these models helps promote safe electrical practices, prevent unnecessary replacements, and encourage sustainable repair practices.

Identification

The Saime EOLE 3S and 3XLS are rectangular plastic enclosures typically molded in a light gray or off-white color, with a smooth or slightly textured surface finish. Key identifying features include:

  • Model Labeling: Look for a molded or printed marking on the inside of the cover or the rear wall of the enclosure that reads "EOLE 3S" or "EOLE 3XLS." Some units may also include a sticker with barcodes, manufacturing dates, and certification logos (such as ISO or IEC standards).
  • Front panel with a removable transparent or opaque cover.
  • Snap-fit locking system for easy access.
  • DIN rail support inside for mounting circuit protection devices.
  • Model identification (such as "EOLE 3S" or "EOLE 3XLS") printed on the inner or back panel of the device.
  • Saime SG logo embossed or stickered onto the casing.

They are visually distinct from smaller junction boxes due to their larger size and modular construction.
