Tab. 5/12: Conversion factors for different ambient temperatures
All data refer to an ambient temperature of the switchgear
of 35 °C on 24 h average. Conversion factors for different
ambient temperatures are stated in Tab. 5/12.
Rating data and arrangement notes for the configuration of
in-line units and covers are given in Tab. 5/13. The in-line
switch-disconnectors are arranged in the cubicle either in
groups or individually in decreasing order from size 3 to
size 00. Blanking covers with vent slots are mounted in
between for ventilation.
Configuration rules
For the completely equipped cubicle, the RDF in accordance
with IEC 61439-2 applies. Non-observance of these notes
might result in premature ageing of fuses and their uncon-
trolled tripping due to local overheating. The permissible
operating current of all in-line units in the cubicle is limited
by the rated current of the vertical distribution busbar.
