ABB ACS880-17 - Altitude Derating

166 Technical data
Altitude derating
At altitudes from 1000 to 4000 m (3281 to 13123 ft) above sea level, the derating is 1% for
every 100 m (328 ft). If ambient temperature is below +40 °C (+104 .°F), the derating can
be reduced by 1.5% for every 1 °C reduction in temperature. For a more accurate
derating, use the DriveSize PC tool. A few altitude derating curves are shown below.
 Deratings for special settings in the drive control program
Enabling special settings in the motor-side converter control program can require output
current derating.
Ex motor, sine filter, low noise
Contact ABB for the deratings for these cases:
• drive is used with an ABB motor for explosive atmospheres (Ex) and EX motor in
Parameter 95.15 Special HW settings is enabled
• sine filter option +E206 is selected and ABB sine filter in Parameter 95.15 Special
HW settings is enabled
• Low noise optimization is selected in Parameter 97.09 Switching freq mode.
For non-ABB Ex motors, contact ABB.
