panel thermal analysis

[Designer69]

gents, I am trying to determine the best method for doing a thermal analysis of a NEMA 4X I&C panel.

we don't have the thermal heat generation values of all the components in the panel but we have their power consumption.

i don't have much experience with this and would appreciate some guidance

thanks

is this an outdoor panel you are trying to determine solar gain on?

Or trying to determine what the temperature the inside of the panel will reach?

In either case, most enclosure manufacturers have either charts or software to help you make these calculations.
