The conditions of air temperature change, which are so characteristic of the Lithuanian climate, are very favorable for the increase of the humidity level in closed cavities. This phenomenon also affects free-standing switchgear, where it is particularly undesirable.

Addressing this issue throughout 2006. A number of studies were carried out in the territory of EMITER, on the basis of the results of which a method was developed for the effective reduction of humidity in the above-mentioned facilities.

Here are photos showing the occurrence of moisture inside the panel:

Moisture inside the switchgear is caused by condensation of vapors – at higher temperatures there are more of them, and as the temperature drops, water droplets appear on the walls of the electrical equipment. This phenomenon is exacerbated during the autumn-winter season. Condensation in the panels is a serious problem to which one cannot remain indifferent. It can cause the unit to malfunction, corrode, and even crash. All of this is closely related to the safety of those around you.

Tests have shown that the device must be properly installed in the floor to avoid this. To date, the biggest mistake installers have made is leaving empty space in the foundation. After filling it with earth, it is really necessary to remember about the internal filling with a special material.

EMITER has been producing such a filler in the form of granules for several years. This material effectively prevents the formation of moisture, fills the empty space in the panel and, as a result, reduces the likelihood of condensation. When using this method, it is mandatory to take into account the instructions adapted to the different types and sizes of foundations.
