Abstract
An electric generator system may include a housing assembly that forms an inlet vent opening and an outlet vent opening, an electric generator, an engine, and at least one fan positioned within the housing assembly, an electrical component, and an electrical component fan that is positioned proximate to the inlet vent opening and configured to draw air from externally of the housing assembly through the inlet vent opening and direct air to the electrical component during operation of the electric generator system. The at least one fan may be positioned generally opposite of the electrical component fan relative to the electrical component to draw air across the electrical component during operation of the electric generator system.
