9-7-1 Derating Curve for Ambient Temperature and Altitude
Protection Level
If the AC motor drive operates at the rated current, the ambient temperature needs to be
IP20 /
between -20–50

If the AC motor drive operates at the rated current, the ambient temperature needs to be
IP40 /
between -20–40

for every 1
UL Type 1
If the AC motor drive is installed at an altitude of 0–1000 m, follow normal operation
restrictions. For altitudes of 1000–2000 m, decrease the drive's rated current by 1% or
High Altitude
lower the temperature by 0.5
for corner grounded is 2000 m. If installing at an altitude higher than 2000 m is required,
contact Delta for more information.
