Abstract

An enclosure is provided for use with a circuit protection system having at least one exhaust duct configured to route exhaust gases out of the circuit protection system. The enclosure includes a first barrier coupled to the circuit protection system, a second barrier coupled to the circuit protection system, and a top wall coupled to the first barrier and the second barrier. The first barrier and the second barrier define an exhaust plenum coupled in flow communication with the at least one exhaust duct. A vent extends through the top wall and is coupled in flow communication with the exhaust plenum to route the exhaust gases out of the enclosure.
