from the normal application conditions,
circuit breaker and associated devices
and auxiliary equipment shall be designed
and manufactured to comply with any
special application conditions. For special
application conditions please consult with
GE in advance, normally the following
special service conditions maybe
encountered:
ő
The installation location is more than
1,000m above sea level

The circuit breaker current and
dielectric ratings must be lowered for
high altitude and elevated temperature
applications
IEC 60071-2, 4.2.2 the altitude correction factor can be calculated using the following equation,
which modied to reect that no correction is required up to 1000m.
Where
H
Is the altitude, in metres
m
Is taken as a xed value in each case for simplication as follows
m = 1
for power frequency, lightning impulse and phase-to-phase switching impulse voltages
m = 0.9
for longitudinal switching impulse voltages
ő
The ambient air temperature does not
exceed 40°C and its average value,
measured over a period of 24 hours,
