Outdoor installation: difficulties and consequences

“Almost all consequences can be limited (and even avoided) by an appropriate outdoor enclosure.”

Whatever the type of outdoor constraint, the consequences can be serious and costly:

“Golden rules” to succeed in installing outdoor enclosures

In almost all cases, unusual and premature deterioration of an enclosure installed outdoors is closely linked to an underestimation of the enclosure required.

2E.g.howwilltheenclosurebeinstalled(onawall,onthefloor)?Howwillitbeprotectedagainstits

The “outdoor Heavy Duty enclosures” concept by Schneider ElectricWe consider that, to be effective, an outdoor enclosure must provide comprehensive and appropriate responses to each of the following three outdoor parameters:

1 Weather conditions

2 Installation constraints

3 Human interactions

The new outdoor enclosures offer designed by Schneider Electric has been built based on this unique, comprehensive concept.

Benefits of “Outdoor Heavy Duty enclosures”: “Be careful to make the right choice for high resistance!”•Comprehensiveapproachtooutdoorconstraints•Unique“Resist”concept•Enclosurestestedandcertifiedfortoughestconditions•Enclosurestestedandcertifiedforhumaninteractions•Advancedanddifferentiatedsolutionsdedicatedtooutdoorapplications•Longerservicelife(x2versusstandardenclosure)•Energyefficiencymanagement(less“active”thermalsolutionsneeded)

Overview of thermal management solutions for outdoor enclosures

"Active"

managementsolutions•Heatcontrolequipment•Forcedconvection•Forcedventilation•Airconditioners•Air/waterexchangers•Air/airexchangers•Heatingresistors

“Corrective solutions, requiring special dimensioning, can be expensive”

•Maximize “Passive” solutions before considering an “Active” one (cheap Capex and Opex).•Polyester is a better heat-insulating material than metal or stainless steel, which conduct heat.•It is very important to divide the power loads into different groups, to achieve energy saving,

avoid unnecessary hot spots, lower the average temperature of the enclosure and allow optimal adaptation of the thermal management solution.
