Altitude Derating Curve
Condition Operating Environment
High Altitude
If the AC motor drive is installed at an altitude of 0–1000 m, follow normal
operation restrictions. For altitudes of 1000–3000 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 3000 m. If installing at an
altitude higher than 3000 m is required, contact Delta for more information.
