Humidity
Normally operate the converter unit within the ambient air humidity of 45% to 95%. Too high humidity will pose problems of
reduced insulation and metal corrosion. On the other hand, too low humidity may cause a spatial electrical breakdown. The
humidity conditions for the insulation distance defined in JEM 1103 standard "Insulation Distance from Control Equipment" is
45% to 85%.
Measures against high humidity
• Make the enclosure enclosed, and provide it with a hygroscopic agent.
• Provide dry air into the enclosure from outside.
• Provide a space heater in the enclosure.
Measures against low humidity
Air with proper humidity can be blown into the enclosure from outside. Also, when installing or inspecting the unit, discharge
your body (static electricity) beforehand, and keep your body away from the parts and patterns.
Measures against condensation
Condensation may occur if frequent operation stops change the in-enclosure temperature suddenly or if the outside air
temperature changes suddenly.
Condensation causes such faults as reduced insulation and corrosion.
• Take the measures against high humidity.
• Do not power OFF the converter unit.
Dust, dirt, oil mist
Dust and dirt will cause such faults as poor contacts, reduced insulation and cooling effect due to the moisture-absorbed
accumulated dust and dirt, and in-enclosure temperature rise due to a clogged filter. In an atmosphere where conductive
powder floats, dust and dirt will cause such faults as malfunction, deteriorated insulation and short circuit in a short time.
Since oil mist will cause similar conditions, it is necessary to take adequate measures.
Countermeasure
• Place the converter in a totally enclosed enclosure.
Take measures if the in-enclosure temperature rises. (Refer to
.)
• Purge air.
Pump clean air from outside to make the in-enclosure air pressure higher than the outside air pressure.
Corrosive gas, salt damage
If the converter is exposed to corrosive gas or to salt near a beach, the printed board patterns and parts will corrode or the
relays and switches will result in poor contact.
In such places, take the measures given in the previous paragraph.
Explosive, flammable gases
As the converter unit is non-explosion proof, it must be contained in an explosion-proof enclosure. In places where explosion
may be caused by explosive gas, dust or dirt, an enclosure cannot be used unless it structurally complies with the guidelines
and has passed the specified tests. This makes the enclosure itself expensive (including the test charges). The best way is to
avoid installation in such places and install the converter in a non-hazardous place.
High altitude
Use the converter unit at an altitude of within 4000 m. For use at an altitude above 1000 m, consider a 3% reduction in the
rated current per 500 m increase in altitude.
If it is used at a higher place, it is likely that thin air will reduce the cooling effect and low air pressure will deteriorate dielectric
strength.
Vibration, impact
The vibration resistance of the converter unit is as follows: maximum amplitude amount is 0.075 mm (frequency range: 10 to
57 Hz), and the maximum acceleration speed is 1G (frequency range: 57 to 150 Hz). Applying vibration and impacts for a long
time may loosen the structures and cause poor contacts of connectors, even if those vibration and impacts are within the
specified values.
