C6-02: Carrier Frequency Selection
Parameter C6-02 sets the switching frequency of the drive’s output transistors. It can be changed in order to reduce audible noise and also reduce leakage
current.

A: Swing PWM4
Determined by the control method (A1-02) and drive
capacity (o2-04). Reset when C6-01 is changed.
Note:
Swing PWM uses low carrier frequency but by applying special PWM patterns the audible noise of the motor is kept low.
Detailed Description
Use the following guideline to set up the carrier frequency:
Symptom
Remedy
Speed and torque are unstable at low speeds.
Lower the carrier frequency.
Noise from the drive is affecting peripheral devices.
Excessive leakage current from the drive.
Wiring between the drive and motor is too long.*
Motor acoustic noise is too loud.
Increase the carrier frequency or use Swing PWM.
The carrier frequency may need to be lowered if the motor cable is too long. Refer to the table below.
Wiring Distance
Up to 50 m
Up to 100 m
Greater than 100 m
C6-02 (Carrier Frequency Selection)
0 to 6 (15 kHz)
0 to 4 (10 kHz)
1, 7 to A (2 kHz)
Note:
If the motor cable is fairly long when using PM Open Loop Vector, set the carrier frequency to 2 kHz (C6-02 = 1). Switch to V/f Control if the cable is longer than 100 m.
Note:
Settings 7 through A use “Swing PWM”, equivalent to setting 2 kHz. This function turns the motor noise into less obtrusive white noise. The upper limit for the carrier frequency
is determined by drive capacity. A high carrier frequency is fine when using the drive is set for Normal Duty. When setting the carrier frequency higher than the default value
with the drive set for Normal Duty, be sure to lower the setting for the drive's output current. For more details on how to lower this setting, please contact Yaskawa.

C6-05: Carrier Frequency Proportional Gain
The upper and lower limits for the carrier frequency can be set when using V/f Control to operate the drive. To set the upper and lower limits, first make
sure that C6-02 = F.
Note:
The carrier frequency is can be adjusted only when using V/f Control.

The default value is determined by the control method (A1-02) as well as the drive capacity (o2-04), and is reinitialized when the value set to C6-01 is
changed.
Detailed Description
In V/f Control the carrier frequency can be set up to change linearly with the output frequency. In this case the upper and lower limits for the carrier
frequency and the carrier frequency proportional gain (C6-03, C6-04, C6-05) have to be set up like shown
