General characteristics Operating conditions

SM6 units are designed for indoor installations.

In addition to its technical characteristics,
SM6 meets requirements concerning Their compact dimensions are:
safety of life and property as well as ease • 375 to 1500 mm width
of installation, operation and protecting • 1600 to 2250 mm height
the environment.
• 840 to 1400 mm depth…
… this makes for easy installation in small rooms or prefabricated substations.

Cables are connected via the front.

All control functions are centralised on a front plate, thus simplifying operation.
PM108615

The units may be equipped with a number of accessories (relays, toroids,

instrument transformers, surge arrester, control and monitoring, etc.).

Normal operating conditions

Ambient air temperature
• Less than or equal to 40°C
• Less than or equal to 35°C on average over 24 hours
• Greater or equal to –5°C.

Altitude
• Less than or equal to 1000 m
• Above 1000 m, a derating coefficient is applied (please consult us).

Solar radiation
• No solar radiation influence is permitted.

Ambient air pollution

• No significant pollution by dust, smoke, corrosive and/or flammable gases,
vapours or salt.

Humidity
• Average relative humidity over a 24 hour period, less than or equal to 95%
• Average relative humidity over a 1 month period, less than or equal to 90%
• Average vapor pressure over a 24 hour period, less than or equal to 2.2 kPa
• Average vapor pressure over a 1 month period, less than or equal to 1.8 kPa.

For these conditions, condensation may occasionally occur. Condensation can be

expected where sudden temperature changes occur in periods of high humidity.
To withstand the effects of high humidity and condensation, such as breakdown of
insulation, please pay attention on Civil Engineering recommendations for design
of the building or housing, by suitable ventilation and installation.

Seismic (for 24 Kv and 36 kV):

• Up to 0.5 g (horizontal) and 0.4 g (vertical)
• Class 2 for 24 kV and Class 1 for 36kV
• According to standards IEEE-693/2005 and EN 60068-3/1993 for the
24 kV and 36 kV

Severe operating conditions (please consult us).

The network cables are connected:

• To the terminals of the switch
