Derating data
Current derating as a function of installation altitude (Cabinet Modules based on chassis units)
If the Cabinet Modules based on chassis units are operated at installation altitude of >2000 m above see level, the
corresponding reduction factors for the maximum permissible output current must be considered (derating). These
factors are given in the following table. It has to be ensured that the air flow rate for the corresponding Cabinet
Modules given in the tables of technical data is guaranteed. The values already include a permitted correction
between installation altitude and ambient temperature (air temperature at air inlet of the Cabinet Module).

Voltage derating as a function of installation altitude
In addition to current derating, voltage derating as stipulated in the table below is applicable at installation altitudes of
> 2000 m above sea level.
