Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for dissipating heat from electrical distribution assemblies and electrical switching devices are described herein. In one non-limiting embodiment, a dielectric material of relatively high thermal conductivity can be thermally coupled to electrical switching devices to act as a dielectric heat transfer window that dissipates heat. The dielectric heat transfer window includes at least a first portion thermally coupled to a heat generating component within an electrical switching device, and a second portion disposed external to the electrical distribution assembly or electrical switching device. Among other benefits, this allows heat generated within the electrical switching device to escape the interior of the electrical switching device to an environment external to the electrical switching device.
