General Information
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappropriate, negligent or incorrect
installation or adjustment of the optional parameters of the eq uipment or from mismatching the var iable speed drive with
the motor.
The contents of this guide are believed to be correct at the time of printing. In the interests of commitment to a policy of
continuous development and improvement, the manufacturer reserves the right to change the specification of the product
or its performance, or the content of the guide without notice.
All rights reserved. No parts of this guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electrical or

writing from the publisher.
Drive software version
This product is supplied with the latest version of user-interface and machine control software. If this product is to be
used in a new or existing system with other drives, there may be some differences between their software and the
software in this product. These differences may cause the product to function differently. This may also apply to drives
returned from the Control Techniques Service Centre.
If there is any doubt, please contact your local Control Techniques Drive Centre or Distributor.
Environmental Statement
Control Techniques is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations and of its
products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management System (EMS) which is
certified to the International Standard ISO 14001. Further information on the EMS, our Environment Policy and other
relevant information is available on request, or can be found at www.greendrives.com.
The electronic variable speed drives manufactured by Control Techniques have the potential to save energy and
(through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw materia l consumption and scrap throughout their long
working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental effects far outweigh the negative impacts of product
manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they can very easily be dismantled into their
major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap together and can be separated without the use of tools,
while other parts are secured with conventional screws. Virtually all parts of the product are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates, while smaller
products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high-recycled fibre content. If not re-used, these
containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the protective film a nd bag s fr om wrap ping pr oduct, can be re cycled in
the same way. Control Techniques' packaging strategy favours easily recyclable materials of low environmental impact,
and regular reviews identify opportunities for improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any pr od uc t or pa ck ag ing , ple a se ob se rv e loca l leg islation and best practice.

2 Derating curves and losses
The derating curves are based on the results of heatruns that are carried out to measure temperatures of various components and at various key
points within the drive at different switching frequencies, different loads and different ambient temperatures. The key components/points are:
• Heatsink
• Bridge rectifier
•IGBTs
• DC bus capacitors
• Various electrolytic capacitors
• Various resistors
• Various semiconductor components
•etc.
It is not always the heatsink temperature that is the limiting factor for the de-rating curves.
At 3 and 6kHz, the limiting factor tends to be the capacitor temperatures. Operating outside the derating curves will cause some of the capacitors
within the drive to run outside of their maximum operating temperature and this could lead to the drives design lifetime being reduced.
At 12 and 18kHz (18kHz where applicable) the limiting factor tends to be the heatsink temperatures. Operating outside the de-rating curves will cause
the heatsink temperature to increase and may cause the drive to trip on O.ht2.
If the auto-switching frequency change is enabled (Pr 5.35 = 0 [by default]), the drive will automatically decrease the switching frequency when the
heatsink temperature rises above pre-determined levels to reduce the heatsink temperature. When the drive switches down the switching frequency,
the drives display will flash 'hot'.
NOTE
It is important that these de-rating curves are observed.

With the 0.37, 0.55 & 0.75kW drives, no 12kHz derating information is shown on the graphs. This is because the losses at 12kHz is too great to run
the drive continuously. Depending on the duty cycle etc. it is still possible to run the drive at 12kHz but if the heatsink gets too hot, the drive will
automatically switch down the switching frequency to 6kHz. When the drive does this, the display will flash 'hot' to indicate that the drive has
automatically switched down the switching frequency.
