capability (option)
NXPLUS C switchgear can be upgraded for regions at risk from earthquakes. For upgrading,
earthquake qualification testing has been carried out in accordance with the following
standards:
• IEC 60068-3-3 “Guidance – seismic test methods for equipment”
• IEC 60068-2-57 “Test Ff: Vibration – Time-history method”

For installation on even and rigid concrete or steel structure (without considering building
influences), the tested ground accelerations meet the following requirements:
• Uniform Building Code 1997 (UBC) – Zone 4
• California Building Code 1998 (CBC) – Zone 4
• IEEE 693-2005 – High required response spectrum.
