Abstract
An enclosure containing heat generating electrical components is provided with exterior heat fins and is enclosed within a perforated cover. The heat fins are generally planar and parallel to define vertical channels between adjacent pairs of fins. The fins are formed with a plurality of aligned notches to define a plurality of horizontal channels. The perforations in the cover are arrayed along a plurality of horizontal lines, with at least one of the horizontal lines overlying each of the horizontal channels.
