Solar irradiance testing
The increase operating temperature due solar irradiance can have
a significant impact the performance and reliability low-voltage
assemblies.
The load current carrying capability the assembly and the main
components must considered, but also the thermal capabilities
of sensitive electronic components these often have relatively low
maximum operating temperatures. Maximum load likely coincide with
maximum solar effects, but arbitrary derating the assembly and the
load current carrying components may not adequate.
Schneider Electric performs tests with simulated solar effects outdoor
FeederSeT assemblies optimise and validate the performance of
the feeder pillar assembly.
