Abstract
A power distribution cabinet is disclosed which includes multiple internal compartments for separating and channeling hot air generated by high heat generating components out of the cabinet without coming into contact with more heat sensitive components. The cabinet includes a baffle structure which forms an internal wall within the cabinet, which helps to form a high heat compartment and an upper compartment. The high heat compartment houses a heat generating component. Cool air is allowed to flow into a lower area of the cabinet and into the high heat compartment, and is also channeled into the upper compartment where at least one other heat generating component is located. The baffle structure channels hot air formed within the high heat compartment out toward a rear area of the equipment cabinet, while also helping to channel warm air created within the upper compartment through a top panel of the cabinet.
