Model and Meaning

Service Conditions

  • Ambient air temperature: -40℃ ~ +40℃; Daily temperature difference: maximum daily temperature variation ≤ 25℃.

According to the physical properties of SF₆ gas, SF₆ remains gaseous to ensure normal product operation when the internal tank pressure is 0.05 MPa at ambient temperature of -40℃. (At ambient temperature of -40℃ and gauge pressure of 0.05 MPa, the liquefaction point of SF₆ is -55℃; at zero gauge pressure, the liquefaction point of SF₆ will not exceed -60℃).

  • Maximum wind speed: 35 m/s;
  • The installation site shall be free from fire & explosion hazards, severe chemical corrosivesubstances (such as various acids, alkalis, dense fumes, etc.) and violent vibration.
  • Altitude: ≤ 1000 m;
  • Ice coating thickness: 10 mm;
  • Pollution degree: Class IV;
  • Seismic intensity: ≤ Grade 7;
  • Neutral grounding modes of power grid: isolated neutral, neutral grounded via arc-suppression coil, neutral grounded via low resistor.
