The PWM carrier frequency has a direct effect on the electromagnetic noise of the motor
and heat dissipation of the drive. Therefore, if the surrounding noise is greater than the
electromagnetic noises of the motor, it is suggested to lower the carrier frequency, to
decrease the temperature of the drive. Although a quiet operation may be achieved with
a higher carrier frequency, it is necessary to take into consideration the relative wiring
length between the motor and drive and the effect this high frequency may have on the
motor windings.
During SOFT PWM, the electromagnetic noises are less annoying at the same carrier
frequency for standard operation.
