Abstract
The present disclosure is generally directed to efficiently cooling converter and inverter components of a drive system. Present techniques relate to a motor drive duct system that facilitates efficient cooling and access to motor drive components. The motor drive duct system includes duct channel paths that are parallel and adjacent to one another. The duct system includes a converter section that houses a converter heat sink, an inverter section that houses an inverter heat sink, an exhaust section, and an air inlet section. The converter section and the inverter section are configured to be attached and detached from each other at end sections that are angled to receive one another. Further, the inverter section, converter section, and air inlet section are configured to roll into and out of a cabinet, which facilitates access to field wiring.
