Are these structures into which a human being can enter or are they simply "housings" of a collection of wires and conections? Because if it is the former, I would be tempted to call them "cabines" if they were housings, call them "carcasas"

transformador

I believe the term you are trying to find is transformador. Another variation may be "gabinete", which refers to an enclosure for different purposes.

I am sure you can get the proper message across with this format. If I can find a more appropriate term, I´ll get back to you.

I do believe that the correct term for all the purposes you have listed is gabinete rather than cabina. what country is this for?

I am so sorry, I misunderstood what you meant. The term then should be \"cabinets\" probably or you can try \"lockers\". I should come up with the correct and proper term here in a minute. I´ll get back to you.
