b013 could be used to match the torque characteristic with the load. Output current on the winding is used for this calculation as 
is proportional to the torque generated by the motor. That’s why the current level has to be set in parameter b012 with a range 
that goes from 20 to 100% of the inverter rated current. 
3.19 Carrier frequency (PWM)
The internal switching frequency of the inverter circuitry (also called chop-
per frequency) defines the IGBT communtation speed that is used to gen-
erated the output frequency.  Is adjustable from 2.0 to 15KHz (depending 
on the inverter size) where the audible noise decrease at  higher frequencies 
while the RFI noise and leakage current increase.  
The carrier frequency is adjusted by parameter b083 but the activation of 
the aumatic carrier frequency reduction on parameter b089 could reduce 
the selected value when the output current increase or when the heat sink 
temperature is too high. On this way is possible to have a high carrier fre-
quency with light loads and avoid the derating when the load increase. The 
upper limit is defined by b083 while the lower one is 3KHz with 2KHz per 
second reduction rate.
