operating conditions prevail (e.g. dust, caustic vapors, hazardous gases).
If they are to be installed in dusty or damp rooms, suitable control cabinets must be

from -25 °C to +40 °C, singly in a vertical mounting position, and without a reduction in the
permissible rated operational current. With the deratings given in the section "Rated
operational current (Page 57)", you can operate the 3RM1 motor starters at ambient
temperatures of up to 60 °C.
