HUMIDITY<br />
SECTION 4421<br />
January, 1990<br />
Humidity is a measure of the moisture content of the air in which a machine is situated. It is normally measured as<br />
‘relative humidity’ (rh) where 100% rh is air fully moisture saturated (i.e. the point at which condensation occurs, see<br />
Note 1) and 0% rh is air absolutely dry. (See Note 2).<br />
For successful operation in the high humidity levels found in tropical regions, machines are said to be ‘tropicalised’.<br />
This involves correct choice of the insulating materials and careful assessment of the impregnation varnish system<br />
and methods.<br />
All Newage Stamford a.c. generators are tropicalised as standard.<br />
NOTE:<br />
1. For consideration of condensation see section 4431 “Anti-condensation heaters”.<br />
2. Definition of relative humidity is the ratio of the pressure of the water vapour actually present in the<br />
atmosphere to thepressure of the water vapour which would be present in the same atmosphere if the<br />
water vapour were saturated; temperature remaining constant.
