9-6 Derating for Ambient Temperature and Altitude
For more information on calculation for derating curve, refer to Pr.06-55.
When choosing the correct model, consider factors such as ambient temperature, altitude, carrier
frequency, control mode, and so on.
That is, Actual rated current for application (A) = Rated output current (A) x Ambient temp. rated
derating (%) x Altitude rated derating (%) x [Normal / Advanced control] carrier frequency rated
derating (%)
IP20 / UL Open Type
If the AC motor drive operates at the rated current, the ambient temperature
needs to be between -20–50°C. If the temperature is above 50°C, decrease
2.5% of the rated current for every 1°C increase in temperature. The
maximum allowable temperature is 60°C.
IP40 / NEMA1 / UL Type 1
If the AC motor drive operates at the rated current, the ambient temperature
needs to be between -20–40°C. If the temperature is above 40°C, decrease
2.5% of the rated current for every 1°C increase in temperature. The
maximum allowable temperature is 60°C.
