With a sealed cabinet exposed to bright sunlight, internal temperatures can attain 60 C—and even higher—temperatures that are well above current commercial grade electronics pulling full rated loads. If ignored, such enclosures become furnaces—and the electronics inside tend to fail far earlier than. The dominant constraint is an extreme ambient operating temperature, specifically up to 55°C, often compounded by direct solar load. The temperature rise illustrated by the curves in the Sealed Enclosure Temperature Rise graph is the temperature difference between the air. Most enclosures will be installed in a variety of outdoor conditions. Equipment chamber temperature could range from 20/30 °C to 65/85 °C and, if installed, optimum battery temperature is 25° C. The cooling performance shown is at a typical operating point (Iop) set at 75% of the maximum current (Imax). When evaluating the thermal management needs of outdoor electrical enclosures,solar loading should be considered.
