4.10.3 Derating for Low Air Pressure
The cooling capability of air is decreased at lower air pressure.
Below 1000 m altitude no derating is necessary but above 1000 m the ambient temperature (T

An alternative is to lower the ambient temperature at high altitudes and thereby ensure 100% output current at high altitudes. As an example of how to read the
graph, the situation at 2 km is elaborated. At a temperature of 45° C (T
100% of the rated output current is available.
