In case the operation conditions differs significantly from what is considered to be normal for the cur-rent application, it is recommended to contact ABB for a re-calculation of replacement intervals. Frequent load alterations,high temperatures and high speed lower the life of components.Unless otherwise agreed, the application limits nMmax, tMmax are valid for the test operation for a limited time.
