10.4 Drive Derating
228 YASKAWA SIEPYEULA5001C LA500 Technical Manual
10.4 Drive Derating
You must derate the drive capacity to operate the drive above the rated temperature, altitude, and default carrier
frequency.
◆ Carrier Frequency Settings and Rated Current Values
The tables in this section show how the drive rated output current changes when the C6-02 [Carrier Frequency
Selection] value changes. The output current value changes linearly as the carrier frequency changes. You can use
the values from the tables to calculate a frequency that is not shown.

◆ Derating Depending on Ambient Temperature
When you install drives in a place where ambient temperatures are higher than the rated conditions or install
drives side-by-side in the enclosure panel, set L8-12 [Ambient Temperature Setting] and L8-35 [Installation
Method Selection]. Derate the output current as specified in Figure 10.1.
A - L8-35 = 0 [IP20/UL Open Type]
B - L8-35 = 1 [Side-by-Side Mounting]
C - L8-35 = 2 [IP20/UL Type 1]
D - L8-35 = 3 [Finless Installation]
