4.2.35 Carrier frequency setting
The carrier frequency setting function (b083) allows you to change the carrier frequency of the PWM waveform
output from the inverter.
Increasing the carrier frequency can lower the metallic noise from the motor, but may increase the inverter noise and
current leakage.
You can use this function effectively to avoid resonance of the mechanical system and motor.
Carrier frequency
setting
CT mode : 0.5 to 15.0 (kHz) <0.5 to 10.0(kHz)>
VT mode : 0.5 to 12.0 (kHz) <0.5 to 8.0(kHz)>
*1 The maximum carrier frequency varies depending on the inverter capacity.
When increasing the carrier frequency (fc), derate the output current as shown in the following table:
Derated output current is to be set as electronic thermal protection level (4.2.29).
Derating is not needed when electronic thermal level is already set to lower then derating level.
