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.
