Abstract
A sound reducing baffle for air cooled electrical apparatus with a ventilated enclosure comprised of a box-like closure member positioned in front of the ventilating openings and open at the back and top thereof to permit the transfer of air.
The sound is attenuated by reflections and absorption within the baffle with little or no interference with the transfer of cooling air to and from the enclosure.
