Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,
almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)
Relative Humidity: 20%~ 80% (no condensation)
Altitude: < 2000m
Temperature: 0°C to 40°C
(Pollution Degree) EN61010-1:2010 specifies the pollution
degrees and their requirements as follows. The PPX falls under
degree 2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or
gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of
dielectric strength or surface resistivity”.
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive
pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution
occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity
caused by condensation must be expected.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-
conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due
to condensation which is expected. In such conditions,
equipment is normally protected against exposure to direct
sunlight, precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither
temperature nor humidity is controlled.
