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 />
