The Portalriegel, as far as I can find out, seems to refer to a bar across an opening (a "gantry bar"?), which blocks access to a room which actually has no door as such but just a doorway.
Here it appears to be saying that the barred-off room is regarded as an enclosed electrical equipment room (etc.), for the purposes of the document you are translating - safety regulations, perhaps?

Seeing the added context, I would suggest using "cabinet" instead of "room".

: That is it! "Switchgear" sounds nicer, shorter, you really can find on a plate.

Discussion
Self-contained came to my mind for "abgeschlossen", can one say so?
Der Portalriegel ist ein großer Querträger oben am Portal. In diesen Träger kann man hineinsteigen. Darin befinden sich verschiedene elektrische Großgeräte.
