De-Rating Examples
For these examples, the control used is a VFD66Exx
type. See Figure 10, Figure 11, and Table 5.
•
If a VFD66Exx type (208/230 VAC) is used and
the temperature is below 122
°
F (50
°
C), the VFD66
control may be used for loads up to 10.6 amperes
at any altitude below 3,300 ft (1,000 m).
•
If the temperature around the VFD66 control
reaches 140
°
F (60
°
C), the rating is different.
According to Figure 10, the VFD66 control is rated
for only 7.5 amperes at 140
°
F (60
°
C).
•
If the VFD66 control is used in Denver, Colorado
(altitude 5200 ft), the output rating is reduced.
(See Table 5.) When the temperature is less than
122
°
F (50
°
C), the VFD66 control is rated for
9.96 amperes, as shown by the equation:
De-Rated Maximum Output Amperes = 10.6 Amperes
x 0.94 = 9.96 Amperes
•
If the VFD66 control is used in Denver, Colorado
(altitude 5200 ft), and the ambient temperature
reaches 140
°
F (60
°
C), then the VFD66 control is
de-rated to a 7.5-ampere maximum current draw
due to the high ambient temperature and is further
de-rated to 7.05 amperes of current draw because
of high altitude.
De-rated Maximum Output Amperes = 7.5 Amperes x
0.94 = 7.05 Amperes

1. J7 jumper position depends on the input device connected.
2. Setting the input mode to manual ignores any connected input devices.
3. Input type varies with device.
4. Transducer may provide 0-5 VDC or 0-10 VDC signal. A 0-10 VDC transducer must be separately powered. Note that
a non-ratiometric transducer generates more error than ratiometric transducers.
