To the above figures add the following as they apply to the line-up.
GUIDE FOR ESTIMATING THE HEAT LOSS
IN Power/Vac® SWITCHGEAR

When operating at nameplate rating, Power/Vac metalclad switchgear heat losses per vertical section
may be estimated by adding the individual components of heat loss as indicated below.

To convert Watts to BTU’S:

Watts x 0.05688 = BTU’S per minute
Watts x 3.4128 = BTU’S per hour

Breaker and Bus Work Per Vertical Heat Loss In

Section Watts
1-1200 AMP BKR 675
1-2000 AMP BKR 1335
1-3000 AMP BKR 2030
3500/4000 AMP BKR 2765
2-1200 AMP BKRS. STACKED 1220
1-1200 AMP & 1-2000 AMP BKR 1880
Table 4-8

Each vertical section with simple (typical) relaying and control 150 watts

Each vertical section with complex relaying and control (Differential 330 watts
relaying, backup protective relays, etc)
Each VT rollout 50 watts
Each CPT rollout up to 15KVA 600 watts
Equipment heaters if supplied (per section) 300 watts
Table 4-9

Electrical Room Total heat dissipation:

1x630 Amps = 630 Amps
For 630 Amps, Heat Dissipation in Watts = 675 Watts
Simple relaying & controls = 150 = 150 Watts
Electrical Room Total Heat Dissipation = 825 Watts x 1.2SF
= 990 Watts
