Considerations for Selecting an Electrical Enclosure Cooling Solution

Optimal air circulation in an enclosure is key to protecting critical components

 

Curious about what to consider when selecting a cooling solution for your electrical enclosure?

Our experts have the insights and tools you need to make the best decision for your application.

Electrical enclosures house critical components that generate heat during operation. Proper air circulation can make or break an electrical enclosure. Inadequate air circulation can lead to isolated temperature accumulation, running the risk of system malfunctions, reduced component lifespan, and compromised reliability.

To select the best cooling solution for an electrical enclosure, consider such factors as the unit’s proximity to operators, whether it will be installed in a temperature-controlled facility, and the type of airflow inside the enclosure. Read on in Panel Builder US for an overview of electrical enclosure cooling challenges, a review of tools that can be used to simulate and optimize airflow patterns within the enclosure, and considerations for designing electrical enclosures for optimal air circulation.
