Installation positions
Installation positions other than the input connections at the bottom and the output at the top require a reduction of the continuous output power or a limitation of the maximum permissible ambient temperature.
The extent of the reduction influences the life expectancy of the power supply. Therefore, two different derating curves for continuous operation are provided below:
Curve A1: Recommended output current.
Curve A2: Max. permissible output current (results in about half the life expectancy of A1).
