1320mm creepage is provided on the porcelain
insulators. These are suitable for very high levels of
pollution at site.
2.3.2 Installation altitude
The insulating capacity of air decreases with rising
altitude due to the lower air density. In conformity with
IEC 62271-1, the rated lightning impulse voltage values
given in Fig. 5 are valid up to an installation altitude of
1000m above mean sea level. As from an altitude of
1000m, the insulation level must be corrected as shown
in Fig. 4:
2.3 Influence of environmental parameters
2.3.1 Permissible ambient conditions
The 3AF 01 vacuum circuit-breakers are designed for the
normal operating conditions laid down in the standards.
Permissible ambient temperatures:
Maximum value + 55

Permissible relative atmospheric humidity:
Maximum value, 24 hour mean 95 %
Maximum value, 1 month mean 90 %
Under these conditions, condensation may occur
occasionally.

longitudinally)
Example:
For a specified rated withstand voltage of 185kV at an
altitude of 1400m, an insulation level of at least 195kV
under standard reference atmosphere is required:
195kV ≥ 185kV • e
1*(1400-1000)/8150
= 185

This means that equipment designed for a rated voltage
of 195 kV, is required for this application.
