Technical data104SymbolsDeratingThe load capacity (current and power) decreases if the installation site altitude exceeds 2000 metres(6600 ft), or if the ambient temperature exceeds 45°C (113°F).Temperature deratingIn the temperature range +45°C (+113°F) to +50°C (+122°F), the rated output current is decreased by2% for every additional 1°C (1.8°F). The output current is calculated by multiplying the current given inthe rating table by the derating factor.Example If the ambient temperature is 50°C (+122°F), the derating factor is 100% - 1 · 10°C =90% or 0.90. The output current is then 0.90 × I2N or 0.90 × I2hd .Note: Icont.max rating is not allowed above 45°C (113°F).Altitude deratingAt altitudes from 2000 to 4000 m (6600 to 13123 ft) above sea level, the derating is 1% for every 100 m(328 ft). For a more accurate derating, use the DriveSize PC tool. If the installation site is higher than2000 m (6600 ft) above sea level, please contact your local ABB representative or office for furtherinformation.Dimensions, noise, cooling characteristics of the modulesSee also delivery specific dimensional drawings.Nominal ratingsIcont.max Continuous rms output current.
