The full thermal performance of VACON® NX AC drives is designed for installation up to 1000 m
altitude and the electric insulation is designed for installations up to 2000 m altitude. Higher
installation locations are possible, when you obey the derating guidelines in this chapter.
NOTE! 690V units maximum installation altitude is 2000m.
Above 1000 m, you must decrease the limited maximum load current by 1% for each 100 m. Thus, for
example, at 2500 m altitude, you must decrease the load current down to 85% of the rated output
current (100% (2500 m 1000 m) / 100 m x 1% = 85%).
When you use fuses at high altitudes, the cooling effect of the fuse decreases as the density of the
atmosphere decreases.
When you use fuses above 2000 meters, the continuous rating of the fuse:
I = I
n
*(1- (h-2000)/100*0.5/100)
I = Current rating at high altitude
