Protection Level Operating Environment
IP20 /
UL Open Type
If the AC motor drive operates at the rated current, the ambient temperature needs to be
between -20–50
o
C. If the temperature is above 50
o
C, decrease 2.5% of the rated current
for every 1
o
C increase in temperature. The maximum allowable temperature is 60
o
C.
NEMA1 /
UL Type 1
If the AC motor drive operates at the rated current, the ambient temperature needs to be
between -20–40
o
C. If the temperature is above 40
o
C, decrease 2.5% of the rated current
for every 1
o
C increase in temperature. The maximum allowable temperature is 60
o
C.
High Altitude
If the AC motor drive is installed at an altitude of 0–1000 m, follow normal operation
restrictions. For altitudes of 1000–2000 m, decrease the drive’s rated current by 1% or
lower the temperature by 0.5
o
C for every 100 m increase in altitude. The maximum
altitude for corner grounded is 2000 m. If installing at an altitude higher than 2000 m is
required, contact Delta for more information.
