2How to define an enclosure solution?InvariablesSwitchgear and Controlgear are the cornerstone of all electrical systems in every segment, from industry to infrastructure, building, energy, and transport. Selecting the correct enclosure and thermal management is crucial in helping guarantee the target performance. This also safeguards the equipment installed inside thereby helping ensure continuity of service.Correctly selecting an enclosure and thermal solutionMany influences must be considered when defining an enclosure system. They may be split into three groups:• Protection (Equipment and people)• Thermal management• Solution profitabilityThermal managementThermal management system must help guarantee control of the temperature and humidity inside the enclosure.The correct solution must be based on a robust process starting with the environment diagnostic, then calculating the parameters and defining the best architecture (Enclosures + Equipment installed + Thermal solution).ClimaSys is the hardware solution following an audit performed with dataloggers and ProClima thermal calculation software.EnvironmentEnclosure materialSteelSteelHeavy Duty304L stainless steel 316L stainless steel Stainless steel PaintPolyesterPolyesterHeavy DutyIndoor clean environment (1) Hard cleaning process (2)-- ---Outdoor (no public access)- Outdoor (public access)- Harsh chemicals- Solar radiation- - (4) (4) Sand storm-- - Temperature > 40ºC (3) Temperature < 5ºC (3) Salty environment--- Sea water splashes--- Humidity > 70% (3)- Impact Vandalism- Burglary- Heavy pollution• Vibration (Marine application) - -Seismic ------Electro Magnetic Interference ------(1) Not considering F&B process (2) e.g. F&B process (3) Always using ClimaSys solutions (4) Marine solar plantsProtectionEnclosures help protect the equipment installed inside against the external environment, and help protect people against accidental contact with the electrical equipment it contains.Protection against the environment This concept includes the following:Rain / Snow / Ice / Humidity / Pollution / Chemicals / UV Radiation / Low temperatures / High temperatures / Cleaning process / Dust / Salt / Sand storms / Wind / Chemicals / Fauna / Flora / Vandalism / Burglary / ...Helping protect people from electrical accidentsThis concept includes the following:Public areas / Non segregated private areas / Segregated private areas / Vandalism / BurglaryThe environment and the enclosureThe table below is only indicative and not binding.
