3.3.1 Switching frequency and temperature
The drive controller cooling is designed by way that the heat sink overtemperature
threshold is not exceeded at rated conditions. A switching frequency higher than the rat-
ed switching frequency also produces higher losses and thus a higher heat sink heating.
If the heat sink temperature reaches a critical threshold (T
DR), the switching frequency
can be reduced automatically step by step. This prevents that the drive controller switch-
esoduetooverheatingoftheheatsink.IftheheatsinktemperaturefallsbelowTUR,
the switching frequency is increased back to the setpoint. At temperature TEM the switch-
ing frequency is immediately reduced to rated switching frequency. "Derating“ must be
activated, for this function to work.
