Abstract

The invention relates to a switchgear cabinet for a wind power plant, having a U-shaped base plate, comprising a bottom and two side parts, two end plates connected to the base plate, and a cover, by means of which the switchgear cabinet is closed, wherein the end plates are lengthened beyond the side parts or longitudinal sides formed by the latter, or the end plates are each set back at a distance with respect to an outer edge of the base plate, such that the base plate and/or the end plates form tabs projecting outward, which are useful for the fixing of holders.

Claims (15)

1. A switchgear cabinet for use with a wind turbine, wherein the wind turbine has a rotating part, the switchgear cabinet comprising:

a U-shaped base plate having a bottom and two side parts;

two end plates connected to the base plate;

a cover which closes the switchgear cabinet, the switchgear cabinet being arranged in the rotating part of the wind turbine and being attached to the wind turbine by at least one bracket;

the two end plates each being set back by a distance from an outer edge of the base plate, such that the base plate forms three outwardly protruding tabs which are each formed flat and useable for attaching two brackets; and

wherein each said bracket is attached to three or more tabs and lies with a respective flat contact face on each of the tabs;

wherein the tabs are formed by the bottom and the side parts;

wherein the tabs include three outwardly protruding tabs, and the three outwardly protruding tabs form a U-shaped tab arrangement; and

wherein each said bracket has an end region which faces the switchgear cabinet and is U-shaped, each said bracket being attached to an associated three of the tabs at an associated end region of cabinet.

2. The switchgear cabinet of claim 1 , wherein two of the three tabs form a right angle with each other.

3. The switchgear cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the at least one bracket comprises a sheet.

4. The switchgear cabinet of claim 1 , wherein additional folds are provided on the base plate and/or on at least one of the end plates, so that at least one additional plane is created on the base plate and/or on the two end plates.

5. The switchgear cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the two end plates are welded to the base plate.

6. The switchgear cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the switchgear cabinet is welded all round apart from the cover.

7. The switchgear cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the bottom of the base plate is at least one of rectangular or square.
