Use
The products of the Canalis KNA 40A to 160A range do not generate environmental pollution (noise, emissions)
requiring special precautionary measures in standard use.

The dissipated power depends on the conditions under which the product is implemented and used. This
dissipated power is between 0 W and 300 W for the Canalis KNA 40A to 160A product range. It is 154 W at 30%
load in Active mode and 0 W in OFF mode for the typical product, Canalis KNA 63A, referenced, i.e. 8.6 W/metre.

This thermal dissipation represents less than 0.2% of the power which passes through the product.

The product range does not require special maintenance operations.

End of life
At end of life, the products in the Canalis KNA 40A to 160A have been optimized to decrease the amount of waste
and allow recovery of the product components and materials.

This product range doesn’t need any special end-of-life treatment. According to countries’ practices this product
can enter the usual end-of-life treatment process.

The recyclability potential of the products has been evaluated using the “ECO DEEE recyclability and recoverability
calculation method” (version V1, 20 Sep. 2008 presented to the French Agency for Environment and Energy
Management: ADEME).

According to this method, the potential recyclability ratio without packaging is: 89%.

As described in the recyclability calculation method this ratio includes only metals and plastics which have proven
industrial recycling processes.

Environmental impacts
Life cycle assessment has been performed on the following life cycle phases: Materials and Manufacturing (M),
Distribution (D), Installation (I) Use (U), and End of life (E).
Modeling hypothesis and method:
- The calculation was performed on Canalis KNA 40A to 160A.
- Product packaging is included.
- Installation components: No special components included.
- Scenario for the Use phase: This product range is included in the category “Energy passing
product”. Assumed service lifetime is 20 years and use scenario is: Product dissipation is 154 W at
30% load in Active mode and 0 W in OFF mode, loading rate is 30%, service uptime is 30% and
service Off time is 70%.
- The geographical representative area for the assessment is EUROPEAN and the electrical power
model used for calculation is Europe model.
- End of life impacts are based on a worst case transport distance to the recycling plant (1000km)

Life cycle assessment has been performed with the EIME software (Environmental Impact and Management
Explorer), version 5 and with its database version 2013-02

The USE (U) phase is the life cycle phase which has the greatest impact on the majority of environmental
indicators. The manufacturing phase is responsible for the major impacts on the Raw Material Depletion (RMD) as
well as on the Hazardous Waste Production (HWP).

According to this environmental analysis, proportionality rules may be used to evaluate the impacts of other
products of this range: “Depending on the impact analysis, the environmental indicators (without RMD and HWP) of
other products in this family may be proportional extrapolated by energy consumption values”. For RMD and HWP,
impact may be proportional extrapolated by mass of the product.

System approach
As the products of the range are designed in accordance with the European RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, they can
be incorporated without any restriction in an assembly or an installation subject to this Directive.
Please note that the values given above are only valid within the context specified and cannot be used directly to
draw up the environmental assessment of an installation.

Glossary
Air Acidification (AA) The acid substances present in the atmosphere are carried by rain. A high level of acidity in the rain
can cause damage to forests. The contribution of acidification is calculated using the acidification
potentials of the substances concerned and is expressed in mode equivalent of H+.
Air Toxicity (AT) This indicator represents the air toxicity in a human environment. It takes into account the usually
accepted concentrations for several gases in the air and the quantity of gas released over the life
cycle. The indication given corresponds to the air volume needed to dilute these gases down to
acceptable concentrations.
Energy Depletion (ED) This indicator gives the quantity of energy consumed, whether it is from fossil, hydroelectric, nuclear or
other sources. It takes into account the energy from the material produced during combustion. It is
expressed in MJ.
Global Warming (GW) The global warming of the planet is the result of the increase in the greenhouse effect due to the
sunlight reflected by the earth’s surface being absorbed by certain gases known as "greenhouse-
effect" gases. The effect is quantified in gram equivalent of CO2.
Hazardous Waste Production (HWP) This indicator quantifies the quantity of specially treated waste created during all the life cycle phases
(manufacturing, distribution and utilization). For example, special industrial waste in the manufacturing
phase, waste associated with the production of electrical power, etc. It is expressed in kg.
Ozone Depletion (OD) This indicator defines the contribution to the phenomenon of the disappearance of the stratospheric
ozone layer due to the emission of certain specific gases. The effect is expressed in gram equivalent
of CFC-11.
Photochemical Ozone Creation (POC) This indicator quantifies the contribution to the "smog" phenomenon (the photochemical oxidation of
certain gases which generates ozone) and is expressed in gram equivalent of ethylene (C2H4).

Raw Material Depletion (RMD) This indicator quantifies the consumption of raw materials during the life cycle of the product. It is
expressed as the fraction of natural resources that disappear each year, with respect to all the annual
reserves of the material.
Water Depletion (WD) This indicator calculates the volume of water consumed, including drinking water and water from
industrial sources. It is expressed in dm3.
Water Eutrophication (WE) Eutrophication is a natural process defined as the enrichment in mineral salts of marine or lake waters
or a process accelerated by human intervention, defined as the enrichment in nutritive elements
(phosphorous compounds, nitrogen compounds and organic matter). This indicator represents the
water Eutrophication of lakes and marine waters by the release of specific substances in the effluents.
It is expressed in grams equivalency of PO43-(phosphate).
Water Toxicity (WT) This indicator represents the water toxicity. It takes into account the usually accepted concentrations
for several substances in water and the quantity of substances released over the life cycle. The
indication given corresponds to the water volume needed to dilute these substances down to
acceptable concentrations.
