Notes
In determining the maximum permissible current loads at different ambient temperatures,
the derating coefficients listed in the table must be considered.
Example:
An NZM2-A250 should be operated at an ambient air temperature of 65 °C.
How high is the permissible rated operational current I
e
?
At 65 °C the derating coefficient is 0.85, this means I
e
= 250 A x 0.85 = 212.5 A.
The NZM2-A250 may be operated at an ambient temperature of 65 °C with a maximum
I
e
= 212.5 A.
