An apparatus for airflow management within a static transfer switch (STS) or like air-cooled cabinet-based device includes a structure for preventing airflow leakage (e.g., secondary airflow) via a redundant or backup fan capable of replacing a failed primary fan, but which is not operational while the primary fans are functioning, e.g., providing a primary airflow into and through the device for heat transfer. The structure attaches to and covers the fan when in a closed formation, preventing primary airflow directed through the device from leaking through the fan as secondary airflow. When the covered fan is operational, the resulting primary airflow pressure deploys the structure into an open formation, where the primary airflow may be freely directed into or through the cabinet-based device, e.g., by the active fan.
