In order to reduce service procedure time and labor costs, while increasing overall uptime, the electrical equipment cabinet of the invention includes a main service door that is integrated with the dead front. The dead front panel is fixed to and movable with the main service door, and therefore access to high voltage equipment situated behind the dead front is achieved by simply opening the main service door, without the need to first unlock and open the main service door and then unlock, open, and/or remove the dead front panel. Controls on the front side of the dead front are easily and safely accessible, when the main service door is closed, through a dead front control access door positioned within an opening of the main service door.

A PDU enclosure defines a transformer compartment for receiving a transformer. The PDU enclosure includes a first side bulkhead and a second side bulkhead positioned adjacent to each other as viewed on a plane. The first side bulkhead and the second side bulkhead limit access to the transformer compartment from the front. The first side bulkhead defines an opening to the transformer compartment and is spaced from the second side bulkhead by a gap. The PDU enclosure further includes a removable access panel. The removable access panel includes a first portion removably coupled to the first side bulkhead and that covers the opening in the first side bulkhead, and a second portion extending at an angle relative to the first portion and removably coupled to the second side bulkhead. The second portion also covers the gap between the first side bulkhead and the second side bulkhead.
