DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0031] A common feature of the illustrated embodiments is an inner base frame having a mounting rack, which, in accordance with the so-called 19-inch rack standardized in EIA 310-D, IEC 60297 and DIN 41494 SC48D, has a width of 48.26 cm for the purpose of receiving inserts and securing sensor systems and actuator systems. The base frame divides the housing into two installation spaces.

[0032] A partition for separating the installation spaces, two front doors, a cover functioning as a roof and a base plate with faceplates and cable panels are also provided accordingly. The remaining differences of the individual variants are now examined in detail with reference to exemplary configurations.

[0033] FIGS. 1 to 5 illustrate a first housing (10) configured to accommodate two power units (41), said first housing having two side walls (18) without grates and one closed rear wall (19).

[0034] FIGS. 6 to 10 show a second housing (20) provided to accommodate two cooling units (42), the side walls (28) and rear wail (29) of said second housing haying grates for appropriate air passages.

[0035] FIGS. 11, 12 and 13 illustrate a third housing (30) set up for simultaneously accommodating a power unit (41) and a cooling unit (42). In this case, approximately half of the rear wall (39) is grated; accordingly, the left side wall (38) in FIG. 12 is embodied as permeable to air but the right side wall (38) in accordance with the illustration is embodied as closed.

[0036] Finally, FIG. 14 shows the alternative potential use of a housing (50) for a low-voltage isolating transformer (43) with optional air or liquid cooling system. It goes without saying that a corresponding housing (10, 20, 30, 50) may be used, for example, for an energy store without departing from the scope of the invention.

[0037] The maintenance concept provided by the doors (14, 24, 34) that are accessible from the front in this case makes it necessary to mount the cover (13, 23, 33) from the inside by hinging on the rear side and screw connection on the front side.
