temperature, overload output current and time. If overloads are not frequent, and the concern is 
only about the carrier frequency operating with the rated current for a long time, and changes to 
the carrier wave due to short overload are acceptable, set to 0. 
Refer  to  the  Section  9-7  “Derating  Curve  of  Ambient  Temperature”  for  the  level  of  carrier 
frequency.  Take  VFD007CP43A  in  normal  duty  for  example,  ambient  temperature  50°C,  UL 
open-type,  and  independent  installation.  When  the  carrier  frequency  is  set  to  15  kHz,  it 
corresponds to 72% of the rated output current. When the output current is higher than the value, 
it automatically decreases the carrier wave according to the ambient temperature, output current 
and  overload  time.  At  this  time,  the  overload  capacity  of the  drive  is  still 120%  of  the  rated 
current.   
  Setting 1:   
When the operating point exceeds derating curve 1, the carrier frequency  is fixed to the set 
value.  Select  this  mode  if  the  change  of  carrier  wave  and  motor  noise  caused  by  ambient 
temperature and frequent overload are not acceptable. Refer to Pr.00-17. 
Refer to Section 9-7 “Derating Curve of Ambient Temperature” for the derating level of the rated 
current. Take VFD007CP43A in normal duty for example, when the carrier frequency maintains 
at 15 kHz, the rated current decreases to 72%. The oL protection executes when the current is 
120%*72%=86%  for  one  minute;  therefore,  it  must  operate  by  the  curve to  keep  the  carrier 
frequency. 
  Setting 2:   
The protection method and action are the same as setting it to 0, but this disables the current 
limit  when  output  current  is  the  derating  ratio  x 160%  of  output  current  in normal  load,  and 
derating ratio x 130% of output current in light load. The advantage is that this can provide a 
higher starting output current when the carrier frequency setting is higher than the default. The 
disadvantage is that the carrier wave derates easily when it overloads. 
  Use with settings for Pr.00-16 and Pr.00-17.
