Modular electronic power supply
First Claim
1. In an electronic power supply, a framework having front and rear sides and top and bottom sides and having a vertically disposed space extending upwardly from the bottom of the framework through the top of the framework, a plurality of vertically spaced power modules disposed in the framework on opposite sides of the vertically disposed space and having vertically disposed heat sinks extending into the vertically disposed space, said heat sinks including a plurality with vertically disposed spaced apart fins extending into said vertically disposed space and means carried by the framework for forcing air in a vertical direction through the vertically disposed space, said vertically disposed space being free of impediments between the vertically disposed heat sinks so that the air can travel uninterrupted through the spaced apart fins in said vertically displaced space.

- 12. In an electronic power supply, a framework having front and rear sides and top and bottom sides and having a vertically disposed space extending upwardly from the bottom framework through the top of the framework, said framework being formed to provide a plurality of vertically spaced horizontally disposed compartments on opposite sides of the vertically disposed space, input/output modules disposed in the lowermost compartments, ridethrough capacitor modules disposed in compartments above the lowermost compartments and an electronic motor generator/special power unit modules disposed in compartments overlying the compartment ion which the ridethrough capacitor modules are disposed, means mounting the ridethrough capacitor modules and the electronic motor generator/special power unit modules for sliding movement into and out of the framework towards and away from the vertically disposed space and permitting ready removal of the modules, a control console carried by the framework, the power unit modules having vertically disposed heat sinks extending into the vertically disposed space, the heat sinks including a plurality of vertically disposed spaced apart fins extending into said vertically disposed space and having a predetermined length and means carried by the framework for forcing air in a vertical direction through the vertically disposed space.
