Abstract
An enclosure for an electrical apparatus includes a tank having a bank of corrugate affixed to one or more walls thereof, with the bank of corrugate including a plurality of cooling fins in fluid communication with a volume of the tank via a plurality of openings formed in the walls, such that cooling fluid can flow into the cooling fins. A cross member is affixed to the bank of corrugate along each of a top surface and a bottom surface thereof and extends along a length of the corrugate at a distal end of the cooling fins. Vibration stabilizers are provided to control vibrations in the corrugate bank, with the vibration stabilizer having a gusset plate joined to the cross member and extending between a pair of adjacent cooling fins and stabilizer with a first end attached to the tank and a second end attached to the gusset plate.
