Maximum heatsink plate temperature
This is the temperature at the surface of the heatsink plate. Set
U4-08
[Heatsink Temperature]
to monitor the drive heatsink temperature.
Maximum temperatures are different for different models.

T
Amb
Ambient temperature of the external heatsink
Rθ
HSP
Drive heatsink plate thermal resistance
This value is 0.05 K/W.
Rθ
HSP-EHS
You can use the formula to calculate thermal resistance between the drive
heatsink plate and the external heatsink.
A
th
Heat transfer area between drive heatsink plate and external
heatsink
Note:
Heat generation across the drive heatsink plate is not
equal because of the arrangement of internal
components. The effective area for thermal transfer is
only 70% of the drive heatsink plate area.
Use the H and W values of the drive exterior dimensions
to calculate the area of the drive heatsink plate.
λ
Comp
Thermal transfer rate of the thermal compound
d
Comp
Thickness of the thermal compound (when applied)
