A.5 Drive Derating Data
The drive can be operated at above the rated temperature, altitude, and default carrier frequency by derating the drive capacity.
u
Carrier Frequency Derating
Derate the drive according to Figure A.1 as the carrier frequency increases above the factory default setting.

Temperature Derating
To ensure the maximum performance life, the drives output current must be derated like shown in Figure A.2 when the drive
is installed in areas with high ambient temperature or if drives are Side-by-Side mounted in a cabinet. In order to ensure reliable
drive overload protection, the parameters L8-12 and L8-35 must also be set according to the installation conditions.

IP00 Enclosure
Drive operation between -10 °C and 50 °C allows 100% continuous current without derating.
Side-by-Side Mounting
Drive operation between -10 °C and 30 °C allows 100% continuous current without derating. Operation between 30 °C and
50 °C requires output current derating.
NEMA Type 1 Enclosure
Drive operation between -10 °C and 40 °C allows 100% continuous current without derating. Operation between 40 °C and
50 °C requires output current derating.
External Heatsink Installation, Finless Drive
Drive operation between -10 °C and 40 °C allows 100% continuous current without derating. Operation between 40 °C and
50 °C requires output current derating.
