C6 Carrier Frequency
C6-00 Carrier Frequency Selection
Sets the switching frequency of the drive output transistors. Adjust this setting to reduce
audible noise and leakage current.
Note:
1. If this level is set higher than the default setting, the drive rated current will be decreased. Refer to Table 6.11 on
page 107.
2. The default setting is 2 in PM motor control, 8 (8kHz) in IM motor HD mode and 2 (2kHz) in IM motor ND mode.
Carrier Frequency Selection
Determined by A1-02 and o2-03. Once
A1-06 is redefined, the default will be
changed accordingly
Determined by C6-01
to C6-03
Setting Carrier Frequency
Speed and torque fluctuate at low speeds
Lower the carrier frequency
The drive noise affects peripheral devices
Excessive leakage current from the drive
Cable connecting the drive and motor is too
long<1>
Loud noise from the motor
Increase the carrier frequency <2>
<1> If the cable is too long, lower the carrier frequency according to the follow instructions.
<2> If ND mode is selected in A1-06, the default carrier frequency is 8kHz which is very close to the setting of 2kHz
The carrier frequency can be increased in ND mode. However the higher the setting is, the smaller the current will
be.
2 to 16 ( excluding 16 kHz )
