For deviating conditions (ambient temperature > 40 °C or installation altitude > 1000 m
above sea level), you can determine the thermally permissible torques and powers from the
table below. Ambient temperatures and installation altitudes are rounded up to 5°C and
500 m respectively.

ambient temperature

Reduce the torque and the speed by the derating factor.
At installation altitudes of 2000 m above mean sea level or higher, the voltage load of the
motors must be reduced accordingly based on the table below (reciprocal values from EN
60664-1 Table A. 2).

Installation altitude up to [m] above mean sea
level
As the DC-link voltage is reduced, the converter output voltage also decreases. This reduces
the operating range in the M-n diagram.
Consider the reduced operating range during configuration.
Operation in a vacuum is not permissible because of the low dielectric strength and poor
heat dissipation.
