    voltages, frequency, number of phases and details
    of neutral earthing;
    b) Service conditions including minimum and
    maximum ambient air temperatures, altitude if over
    1 000 m and any special conditions likely to exist or
    arise, for example unusual exposure to water
    vapour, moisture, fumes, explosive gases,
    excessive dust or salt air
    c) characteristics of circuit-breaker
