SWITCHGEAR WITH ARC-RESISTANT FEATURES

摘要

An arrangement capable of being assembled with either an existing installed electrical equipment enclosure having an access door or during the fabricati on and assembly of such an electrical equipment enclosure that increases the ar c- resistant capabilities and characteristics of the electrical equipment enclosure. The arc-resistant capabilities of the electrical equipment enclosure are increased via the provision of shielding facilities disposed i n the vicinity of the access opening of the enclosure to substantially limit t he heat generated by internal arcing within the enclosure from reaching the access door to the enclosure.
