1.1.4 Sit e Alt it u d e

1.1 Gen eral
8BK80 m et al clad sw it chgear is of .horizont al
isolation & horizont al draw out t ype suitable for easy
extension of sw itchgear in bot h direct ion for system
volt age upto 24kV. The sw it chgear is designed for
single busbar system & is fully com part m ent alized.
The design incorporates the set of interlocks for safe
operat ion of sw it chgear.
1.1.1 App licat ion
The sw it chgear is suit able for use as dist ribut ion unit
f or sw itching load at subst at ions of elect ric supply
com panies as w ell as for pow er st ations & indust rial
plan t s.
1.1.2 Specif ic St an d ar d s
The m et al clad m et al enclosed sw it chgear has been
t ype test ed as per all the requirem ents of IEC 60298
"Specif icat ion for Rat ing & test ing of insulat ion of
elect rical Sw itchboards & sw it chgear for AC Volt ages
above 1 kV & conform s to t he st andards IS3427,
IS12729. The Sw it chgear is supplied in ready
assem bled condition. The Sw it chgear can be inst alled
f ree st anding.
1.1.3 Am b ien t Tem p erat u re an d Hu m id it y
Am bient t em perat ure is understood as t he
The rated insulat ing capacit y values (rated im pulse
w ithstand voltage, rated pow er frequency w ithstand
volt age) 1 ) specif ied for t he equipm ent are, in
accordance w ith t he provisions of IEC Publicat ion 71,
based on st andard at m ospheric condit ions (1013 h
Pa, 20°C and 11 g/m 3 w ater content). i.e. sea level.
The insulat ing capacity of an insulation in air
decreases w ith increasing altitude as a result of
changes in t he air density. Standards prom ulgated by
IEC and ot her disregard this decrease in insulating
capacit y for alt it ude of up to 1000 m , i.e. t he
decrease of approxim ately 9% at t his alt it ude is still
perm issible.
The standards provide no guideline for alt it udes of
m ore than 1000 m w it h respect t o insulation rat ings;
they leave t his up to an agreem ent betw een
m anufact urer and user.
Our ow n recom m endat ion is as follow s:
Since this m et hod used for rat ing insulation up to
alt itudes of 1000 m has proved to be sat isf actory, it
should also be applied to higher alt it udes. The
alt itude correction factor a should therefore be based
on t he insulat ing capacit y at 1000 m , w hich is low er
by 9% (corresponding to 0.91 or 1/1.1) t han t he
capacit y at sea level.

- Unloading t he sw itchgear w it h a fork-lif t t ruck.
Transport unit s of not m ore t han t w o panels can
be unloaded w ith a fork-lif t t ruck if the access
