Derating for special installation conditions
Current derating
If the converters are operated at installation altitudes above
1000 m above sea level or with intake temperatures in the
cooling unit > 35 °, derating factors

Voltage derating
For installation altitudes > 2000 m, acc. to
EN 60664-1/VDE 0110 (IEC 60664-1) in addition to a current
derating, a voltage derating is also required. This depends on
the air and creepage distances in the unit.

For the standard version, a current derating of 14.4 % is
required.
The maximum available output current is 1344 A for each
subsystem.
