Abstract
Abstract An enclosure for electrical equipment having modular side and divider panel extrusions forming two separate compartments with opposed supporting rails. Front and rear face plates are fastened to the ends of the side and divider extrusions to provide a rigid supporting frame, and a pair of opposed carriage extrusions are mounted on opposed supporting rails in one of the compartments for supporting an electrical package in that compartment, and a plurality of printed circuit boards are mounted on opposed supporting rails in the other compartment.
