Other examples of NEMA 3R enclosures are virtually all meter bases,
outdoor service boxes, pole mounted disconnects, air conditioner and
other roof mounted disconnects as well as wiring enclosures for
changing wiring methods from underground conduits to building
interiors, which generally make the connections with standard wire
nuts. Electricians use NEMA 3R enclosures a lot, and don't use
sealed connectors inside. As William points out, NEMA 3R may be
superior to gasket sealed boxes in that 3R allows for any
condensation to evaporate readily.
