With IP21/NEMA Type1 option kit mounted, a distance of 50 mm (2 in) between the units is required.
3.1.2 Operating Environment
3.1.2.1 Derating for Ambient Temperature and Switching Frequency
Ensure that the ambient temperature measured over 24 hours is at least 5 °C (9 °F) lower than the maximum ambient temperature
that is specified for the drive. If the drive is operated at a high ambient temperature, decrease the constant output current. For
derating specifications, see the VLT® Compressor Drive CDS 803 Design Guide listed in
3.1.2.2 Derating for Low Air Pressure and High Altitudes
The cooling capability of air is decreased at low air pressure. For altitudes above 2000 m (6562 ft), contact Danfoss regarding PELV.
Below 1000 m (3281 ft) altitude, derating is not necessary. For altitudes above 1000 m (3281 ft), decrease the ambient temperature
or the maximum output current. Decrease the output by 1% per 100 m (328 ft) altitude above 1000 m (3281 ft) or reduce the maxi-
mum ambient cooling air temperature by 1 °C (1.8 °F) per 200 m (656 ft).
3.2 Electrical Installation
3.2.1 Electrical Installation in General
All cabling must comply with national and local regulations on cable cross-sections and ambient temperature. Copper conductors
are required. 75 °C (167 °F) is recommended.
