Altitude m
Fig.5. Ambient Temperature vs. Altitude
Note:
The maximum working temperature is the ambient temperature below which the MV station can output
rated power without derating.
When the altitude rises, the cooling capacity of the MV station derates. So the internal temperature of
the MV station in a high altitude area will be higher and severer than that in a low altitude area.
The curve between altitude and ambient temperature shown in the figure above only describes the
relationship between altitude and operating ambient temperature. Other factors such as air insulation
need to be considered separately.
