4.2.9 Base frequency setting
(1) Base frequency and motor voltage
- With the base frequency setting and AVR voltage select functions,
adjust the inverter outputs (frequency and voltage) to the motor
ratings.
- The base frequency is the nominal frequency of the motor. Set a base
frequency that meets the motor specification. Carefully note that
setting the base frequency to less than 50 Hz may result in motor
burnout.
- A special motor requires a base frequency of 60 Hz or more. Your
inverter model may not be suitable for such a special motor, and one
with a larger capacity may be required.
- Select the motor voltage that meets the motor specification.
Selecting a motor voltage exceeding the motor specification may result
in motor burnout.
- To switch the base frequency among the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd settings, assign function "08" (SET) and "17" (SET3) to
intelligent input terminals (see Section 4.2.38). Use the SET and SET3 signals for switching.

(2) AVR function
The AVR function maintains the correct voltage output to the motor, even when the voltage input to the inverter
fluctuates. The output voltage maintained by this function is based on the voltage specified by the AVR voltage select.
Use the AVR function select (A081) to enable or disable the AVR function.
The AVR function is always enabled.
The AVR function is always disabled.
The AVR function is disabled at deceleration. (*1)
*1 Disabling the AVR function at motor deceleration increases the energy loss on the decelerated motor and decreases
the energy regenerated on the inverter, which results in a shorter deceleration time.
4.2.10 Maximum frequency setting
The maximum frequency setting function allows you to set the maximum
frequency of the motor driven by the inverter.
The maximum frequency set here corresponds to the maximum level of each
external analog input (See Section 4.2.12) (for example, 10 V of the input of 0
to 10 V).
To switch the maximum frequency among the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd settings, assign
function "08" (SET) and "17" (SET3) to intelligent input terminals. Use the SET
and SET3 signals for switching.
The inverter output voltage with the frequency ranging from the base
frequency to the maximum frequency is that selected by the AVR voltage
select function (A082).
