The motors are approved for numerous installation and operating conditions. These
conditions such as rigid or vibration-isolated foundation design inuence noise emission,
sometimes signicantly.
3.1.6 Derating factors
Due to the decreasing air pressure in higher installation altitudes, the cooling of the motor
deteriorates. Therefore, reduce the power of the motor as the installation altitude increases.
Multiply the permissible torques or powers by the factors from the following table.
Reduce the torques and powers according to the values determined.
Power derating factors depending on the installation altitude and ambient temperature

Determine the altitude-dependent limit value for the DC link voltage from the limit value listed in Table A
and the reduction factor listed in Table B.
