ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATION ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN DATA
The meteorological conditions are severe; the climate is mainly extremely hot and humid.
The summer is from April to October with June and July being the hottest period.
Ambient temperature
Shade temperature maximum : 550C
minimum : 50C
Black bulb temperature maximum : 820C
Maximum daily variation in temperature : 250C
The maximum shade temperature occurs for short periods only.
Outdoor electrical equipment (switchgear, transformer, motors etc.) shall be designed for 550C ambient temperature.
All indoor electrical equipment shall be designed for 400C maximum ambient temperature to cater for loss of air conditioning supply.
Soil Temperature
Maximum Ground Temperature (summer):
330C @ 1000 mm depth
350C @ 800 mm depth
380C @ 650 mm depth
400C @ 500 mm depth
Minimum Ground Temperature (winter):
200C @ 1000 mm depth
Soil Thermal Resistivity
Average soil thermal resistivity : 300 cm 0C/W
Relative Humidity
Maximum relative humidity : 98%
Minimum relative humidity : 30%

Barometric Pressure
Average barometric pressure : 98.6 kPa
Barometric pressure range : 95.9 to 98.9 kPa
Site elevation
Site elevation above sea level : 157 m
Rainfall
This is infrequent, but when rainfall occurs, it is often combined with hail and sandstorms.
Design rainfall in one hour : 25 mm
Design rainfall average : nil
Sandstorms
These are both frequent and severe; they can continue for days. The atmosphere is heavily laden with dust particles as small as 2 microns.
Wind
Prevailing wind directions:
December/February : NNW
March/May : S
June/August : SSE to SW
Sept/ November : SSE to SSW
Design Wind Speeds:
3-second gusts : 34 m/s
Maximum hourly average : 12 m/s
Solar Radiation
Design (max) Solar radiation : 1.2 kW/m2
