6.12 Derating Specifications
Consider derating when any of the following conditions are present.
•
Low air pressure operating above 1000 m (3281 ft)
•
High ambient temperature
•
High switching frequency
•
Low-speed operation
•
Long motor cables
•
Cables with a large cross-section
If these conditions are present, Danfoss recommends stepping up 1 power size.
6.12.1 Derating for Altitude
Below 1000 m 1000 m (3281 ft), derating is not necessary.
Above 1000 m 1000 m (3281 ft), the ambient temperature (T
AMB
) or maximum output current (I
MAX
) must be derated in
accordance with
.
1.
Derating of output current versus altitude
2.
