Standard Details
Information to assist in evaluating the effect of solar radiation on outdoor metal-enclosed switchgear including metal-enclosed bus and control switchboards is provided in this guide. Specific data in the form of a continuous current capability factor for specific maximum monthly normal temperatures at the installation location to adjust the continuous current capability of outdoor metal-enclosed switchgear to the solar radiation condition required are given in this guide. Examples of maximum monthly normal temperatures along with sources for data for the US and for Canada are also presented in this guide.

The general information in 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 circuit breaker 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.

This guide provides information to assist in evaluating the effect of solar radiation on outdoor metal-enclosed switchgear including metal-enclosed bus and control switchboards. Specific data are given in the form of a continuous current capability factor for specific maximum monthly normal temperatures at the installation location, to adjust the continuous current capability of outdoor metal-enclosed switchgear to the solar radiation condition required. Tables of maximum monthly normal temperatures at various locations in the US and Canada are provided.
