Abstract: An improved electrical connection between an inert anode and a conductor rod is disclosed. The conductor rod has a smaller diameter than a hole in the anode such that a gap is provided between the conductor rod and the anode. The gap is filled with an electrically conductive particulate material, such as Cu, Ni and/or Ag. The particulate conductor material is at least partially sintered before or during operation of the anode. To ensure a good connection between the conductor rod and the anode, the particle size distribution of the particulate connector material may be controlled.

Abstract: An electronic cabinet assembly is disclosed which is positioned in an exterior environment, such as a railway tunnel. The cabinet assembly includes an electronic cabinet having a box portion and at least one door together defining an interior space. The door has an open position for providing access to the interior space and a closed position where the door is in sealed relation to the box portion. The electronic cabinet includes one or more vents. A fan is in communication with the exterior of the cabinet, and with the interior space. A pressure sensing device is electrically connected to the fan and is in communication with the exterior of the cabinet and with the interior space for actuating the fan in response to sensing a predetermined pressure differential between the exterior of the cabinet and the interior space.
