Abstract

See full text

An electrical equipment cabinet encloses a rack supporting equipment and cables connected to the electrical equipment. The rack and the cabinet define a gap between the rack and at least one side wall of the cabinet. The cabinet includes a thermal barrier fitting within the gap and defining a channel for cables. The thermal barrier includes a bracket connecting to the cabinet a channel side wall extending from the bracket, and a hinged panel connected to the channel side wall. The equipment cabinet may utilize a plurality of the thermal barriers to eliminate warm air bypass routes within the cabinet that deteriorate the cooling effect of air blowing across the equipment from front to back of the cabinet. Temperatures sensors and fens may be incorporated into the cabinet for additional temperature control. The thermal barriers and the control system may be part of a kit used retrofit existing cabinets.
