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.
