Technical specifications
Derating for special installation conditions
Current derating
If the converters are operated at installation altitudes from
1000 m above sea level or at ambient/coolant temperatures
> 40 °C for air cooling or with intake temperatures in the cooling
unit > 35 °, derating factors

Voltage derating
For installation altitudes >2000 m, according to
DIN 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.
