The traditional rule of thumb states that for every 10 degrees Celsius increase in temperature, the life of electrical equipment is cut in half—a sobering reminder that enclosure thermal management directly relates to a company’s survival. This thermal reality hits hardest in manufacturing facilities, where hundreds of thousands of dollars in high-performance drives and electronics keep production running. Without proper thermal management plans, these critical assets face premature aging and catastrophic failures.
