Removable Power Dissipation from Cabinets (Example)The removable power dissipation from a cabinet is governed by the typeof cabinet,
its ambient temperature, and the arrangement of equipment in the cabinet.
Figure 2-2 shows a diagram with guide values for the permissible ambient
temperature of a cabinet measuring 600 x 600 x 2000 mm as a function of power
dissipation. These values only apply if you observe the specified installation
dimensions and clearances for racks. Further information can be found in Siemens
catalogs NV21 and ET1.
