Application Selections
Setting the Carrier Frequency
Using the following constants the carrier frequency setting can be fitted to the applications requirements.
Related Constants
* 1. The factory settings depend on the Inverter capacity.
* 2. The setting ranges depend on the Inverter capacity.
* 3. Can be set and referenced only when C6-02 is set to F.
When selecting the carrier frequency, observe the following precautions:
•
If the wiring distance between Inverter and motor is long: Set the carrier frequency low. (Use the following
values as guidelines.
•
If speed and torque vary at low speeds: Set the carrier frequency low.
•
If Inverter noise is affecting peripheral devices: Set the carrier frequency low.
•
If leakage current from the Inverter is large: Set the carrier frequency low.
•
If metallic noise from the motor is large: Set the carrier frequency high.
•
The carrier frequency can be set to vary depending on the output frequency as shown in the following dia-
gram, by setting C6-03 (Carrier Frequency Upper Limit), C6-04 (Carrier Frequency Lower Limit), and
C6-05 (Carrier Frequency Proportional Gain).
