Intra-compartment cooling channel component for a metal-clad switchgear assembly

Electrical enclosure including circuit breaker, exterior panels defining a volume, wall separating compartments defined in the volume, and cooling channel component. Cooling channel component includes first plate coupled to wall. First plate includes first end and a second opposite end coupled to wall, the first plate covering an opening defined in wall and having a first aperture defined therethrough, first aperture having a first shape and a first orientation. Cooling channel component also includes electrically conductive second plate coupled to first plate and having a first end coupled to first plate first end and a second opposite end coupled to first plate second end, the second plate having at least one second aperture defined therethrough, the second aperture having a second shape and a second orientation, where a hollow cavity is defined between the first and second plates, and where the first and second apertures are arranged in a non-overlapping configuration.
