Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion is the rate of change of unit Length/Volume per unit degree change in temperature.

Coefficient of Thermal Expansion is the rate of change of unit Length/Volume per unit degree change in temperature.
Steps and Limits of Temperature rise of ASSEMBLY, Verification by Testing with Current, with Arrangement as in normal use.
Electrical Panel Assemblies needs good understanding of GAS laws, PV=nRT, which relates Pressure, Volume, Temperature and Amount of GAS inside the ASSEMBLY.
Heat is a flow of energy from higher temperature object to lower temperature object. Heat transfer continues until two objects reaches thermal equilibrium.
Severity Test for Assembly is Degree of impact a defect has on its operation, under conditions of high humidity combined with cyclic changes in temperature.
Maximmum allowed Temperature on Busbar length and Joints-connection for Aluminium or Copper Busbar material considering Coating type.
Temperature rise is defined as the average temperature rise of the ASSEMBLY above the Ambient Air Temperature, with Rated Current load for 8 hours.
Reference Ambient Air Temperature is one third (1/3) of sum of Maximum Air Temperature “Current + Daily Average + Annual Average + 10°C”. As per IS 9676.
Thermal Classification of Electrical Insulating Materials, basis Permissible Temperature Rise above Ambient Temperatuer and Hotspot.
