Emax E1.2 circuit-breakers | 5 - Environmental conditions
Altitude
The circuit breaker maintains its rated operating characteristics up to 2000 m above sea level.
Once this altitude is passed, you need to consider reduction of dielectric strength and reduced cooling
capacity of the air.
The following are the corrections expressed as a percentage to be applied to the parameters according to
altitude:

Electromagnetic compatibility
The use of specific devices in industrial installations may cause electromagnetic interference in the electrical
system.
The SACE Emax 2 circuit-breakers were developed and tested in an EMC environment in accordance with
IEC 60947-2, Annex J and F.
Storage Environment
Store the circuit breaker in a dry, dust-free environment free of harsh chemicals.
The storage ambient temperature must be:
• Circuit-breaker in the original packaging, without protection trip unit or Ekip Dip trip unit, between -40°C
and +85°C, -40°F e +185°F.
• Circuit-breaker in the original packaging, with Ekip Touch protection trip unit, between -25°C and + 85°C,
-22°F e +185°F.
NOTE:
the storage conditions may differ from the usage conditions.
