Special Conditions

Increased Ambient Temperature

Due to increased ambient temperature, the available continuous output current and the continuous coil current is reduced.

Cabinet devices (connection modules)

Continuous output current I_cont [%] reduction at increased ambient temperature T [°C (°F)]

Field devices (track, segments, coils)

Continuous coil current I_cont [%] reduction at increased ambient temperature T [°C (°F)]

Increased Installation Altitude

Due to the lower air pressure at higher altitudes, the cooling effect is reduced. Therefore, the continuous current of the segments / coils and the DC bus output current of the connection module must be reduced by 1% per 100 m (328 ft) starting from an installation altitude of 1000 m (3281 ft).

Cabinet devices (connection modules)

Continuous output current I_cont [%] reduction at increased installation height H [m (ft)]

Field devices (track, segments, coils)

Continuous coil current I_cont [%] reduction at increased installation height H [m (ft)]
