Heat transfer system for use with electrical devices and method of operating the same

摘要

A heat transfer system includes an electrical distribution cabinet extending about at least one current-carrying conductor. The heat transfer system also includes at least one electrically-insulating and thermally-conducting device coupled to the at least one current-carrying conductor. The heat transfer system further includes at least one heat pipe coupled to the at least one electrically-insulating and thermally-conducting device. The heat pipe is also thermally coupled to at least a portion of the electrical distribution cabinet.
