6.4 Derating factors
The specified characteristic curves in Chapter "Data sheets and characteristics (Page 78)" are
based on ambient temperature of 40 °C and an installation altitude of 1000 m above sea
level.
With ambient temperatures > 40 °C or installation altitudes > 1000 m above sea level, the
permissible S1-characteristic must be reduced in speed and torque:
