  • Electrical cabinet wall for an electrical cabinet of a wind turbine
    Patent number: 9872403
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an electrical cabinet for an electrical assembly for a wind turbine. The electrical cabinet has one or more walls that define an internal volume having one or more electrical components configured therein. One or more of the walls includes an inner panel and an outer panel mounted to the inner panel. The inner panel includes an inner vent and the outer panel includes an outer vent. Further, the panels are arranged together so as to define a flow path between the inner and outer vents. Thus, during normal operation, air is directed from outside of the electrical cabinet to the internal volume of the electrical cabinet via the flow path so as to cool the one or more electrical components. Further, during a fault event, gas is permitted to exit the internal volume of the electrical cabinet via the flow path.
