Whats needed:
1. The dimensions of the enclosure (Height, Width, Depth) [m]
2. The enclosure position (e.g. single enclosure, enclosure in a row) according to calculation formula, enclosure surface area A [m]
3. The enclosure material (metal, plastic) heat transfer coefficient from table, k [W/m K]
4. The temperature difference between desired enclosure interior temperature Ti [C] and the expected ambient temperature Tu [C] (e.g. day/night, summer/
winter, climate zones) T [K=Kelvin]
5. The stray power (self-warming) of all installed components during operation (e.g. transformers, relays, semiconductors) Pv [W]
Calculation and selection of parameters: enclosure surface area - heat transfer coefficient - temperature difference
1. Enclosure surface area from dimensions
Calculation
2. Enclosure position (plan view) according to VDE 0660 part 500 Formula for cabinet surface area A [m]
(H = Height W = Width D = Depth)
Single enclosure free on all sides A = 1.8 x H x ( W + D ) + 1.4 x W x D
Single enclosure, wall mounted A = 1.4 x W x ( H + D ) + 1.8 x D x H
First or last enclosure in free standing row A = 1.4 x D x ( H + W ) + 1.8 x W x H
First or last enclosure in wall mounted row A = 1.4 x H x ( W + D ) + 1.4 x W x D
Middle enclosure in free standing row A = 1.8 x W x H + 1.4 x W x D + D x H
Middle enclosure in wall mounted row A = 1.4 x W x ( H + D ) + D x H
Middle enclosure in wall mounted row with covered top A = 1.4 x W x H + 0,7 x W x D + D x H
Example: enclosure free on all sides, 2000mm high / 800mm wide / 600mm deep. A = 1.8 x 2.0 x (0.8 + 0.6) + 1.4 x 0.8 x 0.6 = 5.712m
3. Enclosure material and its heat transfer coefficient k [W/m K] 4. Temperature difference T [K=Kelvin]
