1. A system comprising:
- an electrical enclosure having a ventilation opening; and
an isolation assembly comprising a deformable portion and a blocking portion, wherein the blocking portion is capable of substantially blocking the ventilation opening with a blocking surface and wherein the deformable portion is configured to deform due to a level of pressure being applied to the isolation assembly such that the deformable portion plastically deforms and carries the blocking surface toward the ventilation opening.
