I found an old, very sturdy, steel metal cabinet on ebay. Sanded off some rustand put some nice finish on it.
It is big enough to keep my planned small powerwall (only for excess power) of about 1kwheasylyin it.
I think the steel is somewhere between 0.5m an 1mmthick (will measure it later), defenitly thicker than the modern electrical house fuse cabinets (however thats called in english ).
Now i am thinking about if i should add some fireproof material like dry wallconstruction sheetson the inside or if i should leave it and only put some coating in it to prevent electrical shorts to the cabinet.
The cabinet with the powerwall will be in the basement (washmashine and heating) room of my brick built house and there are nearly no burnable things inside that room.
What would youdo? Leave the metal cabinet or add fireprove material on the inside?
