TeSys GV5 / GV6 - Introduction
Environmental Conditions
Ambient Temperature
The ambient temperature refers to the temperature of the air immediately surrounding the device.
Operation temperature:
–25 to +70 °C (–13 to +158 °F): Normal operating temperature
–35 to –25 °C (–31 to –13 °F): Commissioning possible
Storage temperature: –50 to +85 °C (–58 to +185 °F)
Extreme Atmospheric Conditions
TeSys GV5 / GV6 devices are designed to operate in industrial atmospheres as defined in IEC/EN 609472 standard for the highest level of pollution (level 3).
They are tested for extreme storage conditions according to the following standards:
StandardTitle
IEC/EN 60068-2-2Dry heat, severity level +85 °C (+185 °F)
IEC/EN 60068-2-1Dry cold, severity level –50 °C (–58 °F)
IEC/EN 60068-2-30Damp heat, cyclic
IEC/EN 60068-2-52Salt-mist test
temperature +55 °C (+131 °F)
relative humidity 95%
Vibration
It is recommended to install the device in a properly ventilated switchboard without excessive dust.
TeSys GV5 / GV6 devices are tested against vibration.
Conformity tests are carried out in accordance with IEC/EN 60068-2-6 standard at the levels of severity
required by the merchant shipping regulatory body (DNV-GL):
2 Hz to 13.2 Hz with an amplitude of +/- 1 mm (+/- 0.04 in)
13.2 Hz to 100 Hz at a constant acceleration of 0.7 g

DOCA0161EN-01 03/2020
Electromagnetic Disturbances
TeSys GV5 / GV6 devices are immune to electromagnetic disturbance.
TeSys GV5 / GV6 - Introduction
Overcurrent protection tests are carried out in accordance with the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
standard (IEC/EN 60947-2 standard appendixes F and J).
Check for compliance with EMC standard by testing for immunity to:
Overvoltages produced by the operation of electromagnetic switchgear.
Overvoltages produced by atmospheric disturbance that pass through the electrical network (for
example, lightning).
The use of apparatus emitting radio waves (such as radio transmitters, walkie-talkies, or radar).
Electrostatic discharges produced by the operators themselves.
Conformity with EMC standard as described above helps to ensure that:
The device operates correctly in a disturbed environment:
Without nuisance tripping.
In accordance with the trip time.
There is no disturbance to any type of industrial or commercial environment.
DOCA0161EN-01 03/202017
TeSys GV5 / GV6 - Introduction
Altitude
TeSys GV5 / GV6 devices are designed to operate within specification at altitudes of up to 2,000 m
(6,600 ft).
Above 2,000 m (6,600 ft) modifying the characteristics of the surrounding air (dielectric strength, cooling
capacity) causes derating as follows:
Altitude (m/ft)< 2,000 m
(6,600 ft)
Maximum operating voltage (Vac)690690635560
Rated operational current at 40 °C (104 °F)1.000.98 0.960.94
For example, tripping the device with the push-to-trip button can lead to inappropriate fault indications or
corrective actions (such as switching to an alternate power source).
Follow these steps to test the trip mechanism:
StepActionPosition
1Close the device.I(ON)
CAUTION
2Press the push-to-trip button.
The device trips.
3Turn the rotary handle counterclockwise to the O(OFF)
position.
The device is open.
4Turn the rotary handle clockwise from the O(OFF)
position to the I(ON) position.
The device is closed.
