    The following section replaces 3.2.1.

    3.2.1 Applications at Altitudes Above 3300 ft (1000 m).

    Correction factors for voltage and correction factors for continuous current to be applied to circuit breaker ratings and
    related required capabilities when a circuit breaker is installed and operated at altitudes above 3300 ft (1000 m) are
    listed in Table 1 of American National Standard C37.04-1979. These correction factors were developed on the basis
    that both the dielectric properties and the thermal cooling properties of air vary inversely with altitude.

    EXAMPLE: Consider a circuit breaker, having ratings and related capabilities as noted below, that is to be installed
    and operated at an altitude of 7000 ft (2100 m). Interpolating between the values for correction factors given for 5000
    ft and 10 000 ft (1500 m and 3000 m) yields the following correction factors (ACF) applicable at 7000 ft (2100 m)
    altitude.

    ACF for voltage =

    0.95 ( 0.95 0.80 ) ---------------------------------- = 0.890


    7000 5000
    10 000 5000
    ACF for continuous current =

    0.99 ( 0.99 0.96 ) ---------------------------------- = 0.978


    7000 5000
    10 000 5000

    *For some types of circuit breakers; for example, those with sealed interrupters, it may not be necessary to apply the ACF for voltage to rated maximum
    voltage. The manufacturer should be consulted.
    When the rated maximum voltage as corrected for altitude is less than maximum system voltage, select a circuit breaker having a higher rated
    maximum voltage or consult the manufacturer.
    Rated short-circuit and related required currents, rated voltage range factor, and rated interrupting time are not corrected for altitude.
    **In order to correlate the corrected dielectric strength of a circuit breaker with expected transient voltages, surge protective device application practices
    may have to be considered. Suitable protection levels for circuit breakers applied at altitudes above 3300 ft (1000 m) may have to be lower than would
    be required for applications at 3300 ft (1000 m) or less.
