Switchboard cooling

An IP65 control cabinet is chosen to protect components from dust and water. This is important in industrial environments, production areas, outdoor setups or installations where cleaning and moisture play a role. But this is precisely where a technical problem often arises: a switch box must remain protected, while heat must also be dissipated. Ventilation […]

A control cabinet always develops heat. That happens from components such as power supplies, PLCs, variable speed drives, relays, contactors, network components and cabling. In a well-designed cabinet, that heat is dissipated in a controlled manner. But when heat generation exceeds heat dissipation, interior temperatures rise. This may seem like a minor problem, but in

A control cabinet that gets too hot has usually been giving signals for some time. An inverter occasionally fails. A power supply gets hotter than expected. A fan runs continuously. Or a machine gives trouble especially on hot days or during peak loads. Overheating rarely occurs from a single cause. It is often a combination
