Derating for air pressure
Below 1,000 metres altitude no derating is necessary.
Above 1,000 metres the T
amb
or maximum output
power must be derated according to the figure below.

2. Derating of max. T

versus altitude at 100% output current.
Derating for running at low speed
No derating is necessary when running the motor at
rated speed, or when controlling a fan or centrifugal
pump.
Motors running at constant load torque (CT) used at
low speed must be derated or fan-cooled (see dia-
gram).
Typical motor derating
Therefore the VLT frequency converter automatically
reduces the maximum continous output current I
VLT,N
when the switching frequency exceeds 4.5 kHz. The
reduction is done linearly to 60% at 16 kHz (see dia-
gram). The maximum permitted motor cable length is
40 m of screened cable.

Derating for higher switching frequency
than 4.5 kHz
A higher switching frequency means higher losses
and increased heat generation in the transistors and
motor coils of the frequency converter.
