Sizing

The current ratings are the same regardless of the supply voltage within one voltage range. To achieve
the rated motor power given in the table, the rated current of the drive must be higher than or equal to
the rated motor current.
Note 1: The maximum allowed momentary motor shaft power is limited to approximately 1.3 · P
If the limit is exceeded, motor torque and current are automatically restricted. The function protects the
input bridge and LCL filter of the drive against overload.
Note 2: The ratings apply at an ambient temperature of 40°C (104°F). At lower temperatures the
ratings are higher (except I
Note 3: Use the DriveSize PC tool for a more accurate dimensioning if the ambient temperature is
below 40°C (104°F) or the drive is loaded cyclically.

Derating

The load capacity (current and power) decreases if the installation site altitude exceeds 1000 metres
(3300 ft), or if the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F).

Temperature derating

In the temperature range +40°C (+104°F) to +50°C (+122°F) the rated output current is decreased 1%
for every additional 1°C (1.8°F). The output current is calculated by multiplying the current given in the
rating table by the derating factor.
Example If the ambient temperature is 50°C (+122°F), the derating factor is 100% - 1
90 % or 0.90. The output current is then 0.90 · I

Altitude derating

In altitudes from 1000 to 4000 m (3300 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.
