    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
