Abstract

The present invention refers to an arc resistant enclosure for power converters, especially for low power converters of a wind turbine. The enclosure (1) made of an electrically isolating and arc-resistant material, wherein the enclosure (1) configures a first compartment (3) adapted for housing busbars (4) of a low or high voltage converter, and a second compartment (5) adapted for housing fuses (6). The first and second compartments (3, 5) are isolated from each other, thereby forming a barrier to an arch flash occurring in one of the compartments from reaching the other compartment. The enclosure serves as a robust electrical insulator to isolate electrically live conducting parts from other internal components within a power converter, in order to mitigate damages caused by electric arc flash and short circuits, thereby, protecting components of the converter and safeguarding service personnel.
