IEEE PC37.24 DRAFT 2016 Edition, June 2016 GUIDE FOR EVALUATING THE EFFECT OF SOLAR RADIATION ON OUTDOOR METAL- ENCLOSED SWITCHGEAR
More info
Description / Abstract:
This guide is intended to assist in evaluating the effect of solar radiation on outdoor metal-enclosed switchgear and is, for example, applicable to outdoor metal-enclosed power switchgear, metal-clad switchgear, metal-enclosed interrupter switchgear, metal-enclosed gas insulated switchgear, control switchboards, metal-enclosed bus and pad-mounted switchgear. Specific data are given in current-temperature relationship, and tabulation form for its application to outdoor metal-enclosed low-voltage power circuit breaker switchgear, outdoor metal-clad switchgear, and outdoor metal-enclosed interrupter switchgear.
Purpose
Switchgear will perform satisfactorily and have a reasonable life when operated within the temperature limits established in, for example, IEEE1 Std C37.20.1, C37.20.2, C37.20.3, C37.20.92, C37.21, 342 C37.23, C37.74 and C37.100.1. These standards specify the temperature rise limits above a standard (maximum) ambient temperature of 40oC. This is satisfactory for indoor applications where the temperature rise is due entirely to heat release (internal losses). In outdoor applications, the limiting temperatures result from the net effect of internal losses and external influences, principally the sun, wind and local ambient temperatures. All of these must be considered in determining the current-carrying capability of outdoor metal-enclosed switchgear. The magnitude of these factors will vary geographically and from season to season. The time relationship of maximum circuit loads with respect to maximum ambient temperature is important. It is not practical to design switchgear on the basis that all adverse factors reach their maxima coincident with maximum loads. If this does not occur, full current ratings may be realized. Recommendations are made to point out the cumulative effect of these various influences.
