5 - Environmental conditions
Installation environment
Install the circuit-breaker in a dry environment, without dust or corrosive acids, and so that it is not subject
to shock or vibration.
If this is not possible, mount the circuit-breaker in a compartment protecting it adequately.
For the dimensions to be considered for installation, see the chapter "6 - Installation" on page 23 where the
references for following information can be found:
• minimum installation volumes of the circuit-breakers and derived versions in a cell
• overall dimensions of the circuit-breakers and the fixed parts
• drilling of mounting holes
• drilling of the cell door
Temperatures of the installation
environment
The mechanical and electrical characteristics are guaranteed between -25 ° C and +70 ° C, -13 °F e +158 °F.
Particular weather conditions
The circuit breaker is designed to operate in particularly difficult industrial environments.
It was tested according to:
• IEC 60068-2-1: endurance at low temperatures
• IEC 60068-2-2: hot dry climate
• IEC 60068-2-30: hot humid climate
• IEC 60068-2-52 severity 2: saline mist atmosphere
• IEC 60947 (pollution level
≤
3)
• IEC60721-3-6 class 6C3
• IEC60721-3-3 class 3C2
NOTE:
the circuit-breaker is suitable for installation in environments with saline concentrations
no higher than 10 mg/m3.
Dusty environments
It is recommended to install the circuit breaker in suitably ventilated switchgear where penetration by dust is
minimized.
Vibration
The circuit-breaker is insensitive to mechanical or electromagnetic vibrations that meet the following
standards:
• IEC 60068-2-6
a) From 1 to 13 Hz with movement equal to 1 mm - 0.04 in b) From 13 to 100 Hz with
constant acceleration equal to 0.7 g - 0.025 lbs
• Shipping Registers' specifications: RINA, BV, GL, ABS, LRs, DNV
