Multi-compartment electrical apparatus with shared cooling assembly

Abstract

An apparatus, such as a power routing apparatus, includes an enclosure having first and second compartments having respective first and second opposing walls. A cooling structure is disposed between the first and second compartments and has a coolant passage defined therein configured to support a coolant flow in a direction parallel to the first and second opposing walls. First and second semiconductor switches (e.g., static switches) are disposed on the first and second walls on opposite sides of the coolant passage and are configured to be cooled by the coolant flow.
