10.4.1 Derating with Temperature
Operation of the inverter outside its recommended ambient operating temperature
would normally cause the inverter to trip with an overtemperature fault code. To
avoid such tripping, the inverter automatically reduces its switching frequency (e.g.
from 16 kHz to 8 kHz), thus reducing the temperature of the heatsink, enabling the
application to continue running trip free. Should the load or ambient temperature
then reduce, the inverter will first check to see if it is safe to increase the switching
frequency again and if considered safe will then do so.
