(Eq. 1)
All above presented thermal data are typical values, which are partly based on measurements and partly on
interpolations with a simplified thermal model and are therefore only guideline values and are suitable for a
first layout of the basic thermal concept. It is recommended to check the thermal values with the motor
placed on the final location and under worst case performance conditions of the application.
In order to account for thermal variations (like ambient temperature, closed chemical cabinets or corners
without ventilations) and to not significantly reduce the MTBF of the motor it is recommended to keep about

safety distance to the absolute thermal limit of the motor (90

) when designing the thermal concept
of the pump system.
3.4.2 Controller Temperature
Depending on the ambient temperature and the placement of the controller additional cooling may be
required (see
). To improve cooling of the controller, place the device into a moving air stream. If
the controller is mounted in a compact area or adjacent to additional heat sources (e.g. a 2
nd
controller)
ensure that there is sufficient ventilation.
