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% -

°C

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. See

Fuses

gG and aR fuses for protection against short-circuit in the input power cable or drive
are listed below. Either fuse type may be used if it operates rapidly enough.

Frame sizes R2 to R4

Check from the fuse time-current curve that the operating time of the fuse is
below 0.5 seconds. The operating time depends on the supply network impedance
and the cross-sectional area and length of the supply cable. The short-circuit current
can be calculated as shown below in section
Note 1: See also
UL recognized fuses, see
Note 2: In multicable installations, install only one fuse per phase (not one fuse per conductor).
Note 3: Larger fuses than the recommended ones must not be used.
Note 4: Fuses from other manufacturers can be used if they meet the ratings and the melting curve of
the fuse does not exceed the melting curve of the fuse mentioned in the table.
