Derating factors as a function of ambient temperature

The units can supply 100 % output current at an ambient air temperature of between 0 °C
and 45 °C. The maximum output current decreases linearly to 90 % at ambient air
temperatures of between 45 °C and 50 °C.

Derating factors as a function of installation altitude

When the units are operated at an installation altitude with reduced air pressure, the derating
characteristic shown below applies to the output current or the ambient air temperature.
