Derating<br />

Derating of the rated current<br />

according to temperature<br />

As a general rule, derating is of 1 % Ir per degree above 40°C.<br />

IEC standard 60 694 § 442 table 5 defines the maximum permissible<br />

temperature rise for each device, material and dielectric with a reference<br />

ambient temperature of 40°C.<br />

c In fact, this temperature rise depends on three parameters:<br />

v the rated current<br />

v the ambient temperature<br />

v the cubicle type and its IP (protection index).<br />

Derating will be carried out according to the cubicle selection tables,<br />

because conductors outside of the circuit breakers act to radiate and<br />

dissipate calories.<br />
