At low speeds (below 3 Hz G-W housings, below 6Hz D-E housings), the rms current owing
through the power transistors is higher, reaching 1.4 times the rated 60Hz rms value. This is
caused by the low-frequency sine wave created by the PWM. As a result, the continuous output
current must be limited at low speeds to prevent the power transistors from overheating. The
COMBIVERT F5 will drop the carrier frequency to 4kHz if necessary to be able to continue to
provide current to the motor. Once the output frequency rises above low frequency or the current
drops below the levels listed below, the carrier frequency will be returned to the higher value.
