ARC deflecting and ventilation assembly for electrical enclosures and systems for ARC deflecting and ventilation

An arc deflecting and ventilation assembly for electrical enclosure, housing at least an electrical equipment, said arc deflecting and ventilation assembly comprising:

• a slotted unit fixedly mounted to said electrical enclosure, said slotted unit having a closed face, an open face and a wall structure, said open face is placed adjacent to said electrical enclosure and said closed face is placed away from said electrical enclosure, upon said slotted unit being attached to said electrical enclosure, and said wall structure being provided with plurality of slots, in spaced apart manner, for venting hot gases generated within said electrical enclosure during an arcing event as well as during normal operation of said electrical equipment,
• an array of arc plates disposed on the open face of said slotted unit in spaced apart manner and configured to divert hot gases generated within the said electrical enclosure and
• mesh filter arrangement disposed along the inner periphery of said slotted unit and being configured to filter particles generated within said electrical enclosure during an arc event,
• wherein said closed face is configured to divert said hot gases generated within said electrical enclosure towards said wall structure,
• and wherein the walls of said slotted unit are provided with retaining means by means of which each of said arc plates is disposed on said slotted unit at predefined angle relative to a plane of said slotted unit.
