The invention relates to a transmission station for feeding locally provided electrical energy, in particular provided by one or more wind power installations, into a grid. According to the invention, it is proposed for a housing of the transmission station to feature a first, accessible room and a second room that is connected to the outside world by means of an exhaust pipe, with such first room and second room being connected to each other by means of a joint recess, with such control unit closing the joint recess, and with one casing of the control unit being open in the area where the recess is closed and/or showing a predetermined breaking point that is adapted to fail if an electric arc occurs inside the control unit.
