A switchgear cabinet for a wind turbine has a cabinet housing with a ventilation hole defined therein. A fan is disposed in the cabinet housing and supported on the cabinet housing so as to be disposed in front of or in the ventilation hole. A circumferential coaming is disposed on the outer side of the cabinet housing surrounding the ventilation hole. A pan-shaped cover has a closed front and a rim. The cover is disposed over the coaming with the rim extending around the coaming. The cover is spaced from the coaming so as to define at least one air-permeable connection between the fan and the surroundings of the cabinet.
