3.4 De-rating
The drive is protected against overheating. The protection mechanism employed is to shut off current to
the motor when the drive internal temperature reaches the maximum limit. The thermal performance of
the drive is dependent on the application and the environmental conditions. This section provides
guidance for application of the drive within the recommended operating conditions referenced in this
manual. However, thermal performance of the drive is dependent on the specifics of the application and
the environmental conditions.
The drive does not have any temperature or output PWM frequency derating in the ambient temperature
range of 0 to 40°C when mounted according to ElectroCraft recommendations as specified in section 4.1.
Operating the drive outside ElectroCraft recommendations or in a closed box and stagnant air may limit
maximum performance. Use of additional heatsinking or forced air may be required. For applications
outside ElectroCraft recommendations or in ambient temperature outside the limit of 0 to 40°C, please
contact ElectroCraft.
