In switchboards and cabinets the problem with moisture is sol-

ved by increasing the temperature with a few degrees above
the surrounding temperature. The result is a dry cabinet without
damaging the components inside.

EMISSION OF HEAT CALCULATION

A cabinet gives off a certain amount of heat to the surroundings The necessary output can be found by calculating:
through the surface. To calculate this amount up to a tempera- PB = PS - PV
ture difference of ∆T = 50°C the following factors are important: PS = K x A x ∆T
PB = Necessary output
1. Efficient cabinet surface (A) PV = Any installed self-heating in the cabinet
2. Heat loss factor depending on the building material of the PS = Heat loss through cabinet surface
cabinet K = Heat loss factor (W/m² x ∆T)
3. Air cooling factor (K) around the cabinet (at the installation A = Efficient cabinet surface

These factors only result in the efficient surface. Sections 3 and Example:
