When is derating needed
Derate the continuous output current of the drive if
• ambient temperature exceeds +40 °C (+104 °F) or
• drive is installed higher than 1000 m (3280 ft) above sea level
• switching frequency is other than default.
Note: The final derating factor is a multiplication of all applicable derating factors.
Ambient temperature derating
In the temperature range +40…55 °C (+104…131 °F), the rated output current is derated
by 1% for every added 1 °C (1.8 °F) as follows. Calculate the output current by multiplying
the current given in the rating table by the derating factor.
