2.1
Eco-design concept and revalorisation of the materials used
The design and manufacture of our
packaging are both in conformity
with the French government decree
N° 98-638 of 20 July 1998, concerĆ
ning the account that is taken of
environmental requirements.
2.2
Responsibilities
Our devices are quality controlled
and tested at the factory in accorĆ
dance with the standards and the
regulations currently in force.
Apparatus efficiency and apparatus
life depend on the compliance with
the installation, commissioning and
operation instructions described in
this user manual. Non respect of
these instructions is likely to
invalidate any guarantee.
Local requirements especially
about safety and which are in
accordance with the indications
given in this document, must be
observed.
AREVA declines any responsibility
for the consequences:
- due to the non respect of the
recommendations in this manual
which make reference to the interĆ
national regulations in force.
- due to the non respect of the
instructions by the suppliers of
cables and connection accessories
during installation and fitting
operations,
- any possible aggressive climatic
conditions (humidity, pollution, etc.)
acting in the immediate environĆ
ment of the materials that are neiĆ
ther suitably adapted nor protected
for these effects.
This user manual does not list the
locking-out procedures that must
be applied. The interventions
described are carried out on
de-energized equipment (in the
course of being installed) or locked
out (non operational).
2.3
Reminder concerning normal service conditions (in accordance with IEC 60694)
* Permissible ambient temperature
The ambient air temperature should
be comprised between - 5°C and
+ 40° C.
The mean measured value for a 24
hour period must not exceed 35°C.
* Installation altitude
HV equipment are defined in
accordance with European
Standards and can be used up to
an altitude of 1,000 m.
Beyond this, account must be
taken of the decrease in dielectric
withstand.
For these specific cases, contact
the AREVA Sales Department
* Atmospheric pollution
The ambient air must not contain
any dust particles, fumes or smoke,
corrosive or flammable gases,
vapours or salts.
* Permissible atmospheric humidity level
The average atmospheric relative
humidity level measured over a
24-hour period must not exceed
95%.
The average water vapour pressure
over a period of 24 hours must not
exceed 22 mbar.
The average atmospheric relative
humidity value measured over a
period of one month must not
exceed 90 %.
The average water vapour pressure
over a period of one month must
not exceed 18 mbar.
Condensation may appear in case
of any sharp variation in temperaĆ
ture, due to excessive ventilation, a
high atmospheric humidity level or
the presence of hot air. This
condensation can be avoided by an
appropriate lay-out of the room or
of the building (suitably adapted
ventilation, air driers, heating etc.).
