Frequency converter overtemperature is triggered if the heatsink exceeds 90 °C (194 °F) or 85 °C (185 °F), depending on model, requiring cooling and ambient checks. The manual's first action is: “Do a check of the actual amount and flow of cooling air. Examine the heatsink for dust. Do a check of the ambient temperature. Make sure that the switching frequency is not too high in relation to the ambient temperature and the motor load.”
