> The type tests

Temperature rise tests

Aim of test

To determine the enclosure class To guarantee that none of the substation components will overshoot its standard-defined limits To guarantee temperature on the parts of the enclosure likely to be touched during operation To guarantee lifetime of insulating devices and thus safety of equipment during the period of operation

Our performance

The Biosco substation enclosures are class 10 as standard This performance can be adapted to your needs according to ambient temperatures, degrees of protection or transformer losses Numerical modelling and thermal simulations are performed.
