5. Installation
5.1 General
5.2 Installation and operating
The following Standards must be taken into
particular consideration during installation and
service:
• IEC 62271-1/DIN VDE 0101
• VDE 0105: Electrical installation service
• DIN VDE 0141: Earthing systems for installations
with rated voltage above 1 kV
• All the accident prevention regulations in force in
the relative countries.
5.2.1
Follow the recommendations in the IEC 62271-1 and
62271- 100 Standards. In more detail:
Ambient temperature
Maximum
Average maximum over 24 hours
Minimum (according to class – 5),
apparatus for indoor installation
Humidity
The average value of the relative humidity, measured for a period
longer than 24 hours, must not exceed the 95%.
The average value of the pressure of the water vapour, measured
for a period longer than 24 hours, must not exceed 2.2 kPa.
The average value of the relative humidity, measured for a period
longer than 1 month, must not exceed the 90%.
The average value of the pressure of the water vapour, measured
for a period longer than 1 month, must not exceed 1.8 kPa.
Altitude
< 1000 m above sea level.
Correct installation is of primary
importance. The manufacturer's
instructions must be carefully studied
and followed. It is good practice to use
gloves for handling the pieces during
installation.
conditions
Normal conditions
5.2.2 Special conditions
Installations over 1000 m a.s.l.
Possible within the limits permitted by reduction of the
dielectric resistance of the air.
Increase in the ambient temperature
Reduction in the rated current.
Encourage heat dissipation with appropriate additional
ventilation.
Climate
To avoid the risk of corrosion or other damage in areas:
• with a high level of humidity, and/or
• with rapid and big temperature variations, take
appropriate steps (for example, by using suitable electric
heaters) to prevent condensation phenomena.
For special installation requirements or other
operating conditions, please contact ABB.
The areas involved by the passage of
power conductors or auxiliary circuit
conductors must be protected against
access of any animals which might cause
damage or disservices.
