Abstract

External insulation of equipment installed outdoors is directly affected by the external ambient conditions. Installing devices indoors reduces the number of the ambient factors affecting the equipment but does not remove them completely, because indoor installation does not necessarily mean that the system is hermetically sealed and fully protected from all the effects of variation of ambient conditions.
