Typically, applications such as industrial, power distribution, IT, communications, data centres, multimedia, traffic control, e
24、tc., require differing features. These differing features are hardly common and many range from static load to dynamic load, including seismic test, protection (IP), electromagnetic shielding (EMC) provision, and many other detailed requirements. It is unrealistic and uneconomical to expect from an
25、economical system to offer an all compliant cabinet from multiple sources.

36、The environmental and test requirements for cabinets are defined in existing standards. According to IEC 60529 enclosure systems can be classified by their IP code. The IP code is a 2 digit number where the first digit (0 6) indicates the level of protection that the enclosure provides against acces
37、s to hazardous parts and the entry of solid foreign objects. The second digit (0-8) indicates the protection against harmful entry of water. As in IEC 61587-1 a cabinet system can meet the standards of climatic levels C1, C2, C3, the levels of industrial atmosphere A1(E), A2(E), A3(E), levels of sta
38、tic loading SL5, SL6, SL7, levels of dynamic loading DL4, DL5, DL6 and levels of impact loading K1, K2 and K3. A cabinet system can also meet the seismic requirements as defined in IEC 61587-2 and/or the EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) performance tests as defined in IEC 61587-3 and shown in Ta
