BS EN IEC 62610-2:2018

What is BS EN IEC 62610‑2 - Thermal management for cabinets about ?

BS EN IEC 62610‑2 is an international standard used for mechanical structures for electrical and electronic equipment. This BS EN IEC 62610‑2 can be your best guide in designing these cabinets by using thermal management systems.  

BS EN IEC 62610‑2 provides for compatible methods of configuring forced air-cooled cabinets assembled with associated sub racks and/or chassis in accordance with the IEC 60297 and IEC 60917 series. 

BS EN IEC 62610‑2 covers: 

• Thermal interfaces of sub racks and/or chassis-based equipment in a cabinet, described by: reference temperature, preferred airflow conditions, airflow volume conditions standard air 

• Procedures for determining compatible forced airflow conditions in a cabinet by applying typical thermal interface conditions

Who is BS EN IEC 62610‑2 - Thermal management for cabinets for ?

BS EN IEC 62610‑2 on Mechanical structures for electrical and electronic equipment is useful for: 

• Information Technology companies 
• Server managers 
• Telecommunication equipment rooms 
• Data centres 

Why should you use BS EN IEC 62610‑2 - Thermal management for cabinets ?

The electronic devices and circuits generate excessive heat. This thermal management is useful in maintaining the temperature conditions inside the electrical cabinets. This also helps in preventing the failures that take place due to overheating of electronic devices or circuits.   

BS EN IEC 62610‑2 enables you to determine the thermal compatibility and parameters of the products. With the help of BS EN IEC 62610‑2, you can identify the forced airflow procedure for cabinet equipment.  

Overall, BS EN IEC 62610‑2 guides you in designing and installing the cabinets which help in avoiding the excessive heat of electronic devices by using thermal management systems.
