Installation distances
cgm.3 family cubicles can be configured to
best suit your needs and available space. It is
important to take into account the minimum
installation distances, which are defined
by accessibility and the required protection
conditions (IAC classification, gas output, etc.).
Gas output
Configurable gas relief according to the
characteristics of the facility:
• Downward gases, directing gases into the
trench
• Upward gases, directing gases from the rear
to the top of the cubicle
Trench dimensions
The recommended minimum dimensions
for the trench are defined on the basis of
those used in IEC/IEEE standard tests. These
dimensions may vary, in accordance with the
radius of curvature of the cables.
