Influence of environmental parameters

2.3.1

Permissible ambient conditions

The 3AF 01 vacuum circuit-breakers are designed for the
normal operating conditions laid down in the standards.
Permissible ambient temperatures:
Maximum value
Average over a period of 24 hours
Minimum value
Permissible relative atmospheric humidity:
Maximum value, 24 hour mean
Maximum value, 1 month mean
Under these conditions, condensation may occur
occasionally.
1320mm creepage is provided on the porcelain
insulators. These are suitable for very high levels of
pollution at site.
2.3.2
≤ 65 ms
The insulating capacity of air decreases with rising
altitude due to the lower air density. In conformity with
≤ 65 ms
IEC 62271-1, the rated lightning impulse voltage values
given in Fig. 5 are valid up to an installation altitude of
≤ 50 ms
1000m above mean sea level. As from an altitude of
<15 ms
1000m, the insulation level must be corrected as shown
in Fig. 4:

Example:
For a specified rated withstand voltage of 185kV at an
altitude of 1400m, an insulation level of at least 195kV
under standard reference atmosphere is required:
195kV ≥ 185kV • e

This means that equipment designed for a rated voltage

of 195 kV, is required for this application.
