Altitude derating curve
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°C for every 100 m increase in altitude. The maximum altitude for corner grounding is 2000
m. If installing at an altitude higher than 2000 m is required, contact Delta for more information.
