7-4-1 Carrier Frequency
7-4 Reduction of Motor Noise, Noise and
Inverter Heat Generation
The electromagnetic noise from the motor, noise from the inverter and the heat generation in the
inverter can be reduced/suppressed when you change the carrier frequency.
The carrier frequency is the frequency at which the element that controls the inverter output changes.
The carrier frequency can be changed using the [bb101] setting.
It is also effective in avoiding resonance of mechanical systems and motors.
Precautions for Correct Use
• With the selection using [Ub-03] Load specifications, the carrier frequency setting will be
automatically restrained.
• In accordance with the figures of Derating of Rated Output Current on page 2-10, operate the
inverter within the proper current range.
• If the [AA121] control method selection when driven by induction motor (IM) is automatic
torque boost (03), sensorless vector control (08), or zero speed area sensorless vector con-
trol (09), set the carrier frequency to 2.0 kHz or higher.
• If the [AA121] control method selection is the synchronous motor/permanent magnet motor
(SM/PMM) sensorless vector control (11), set the carrier frequency to 8.0 kHz or higher.
• The carrier frequency should be set to 10 times or higher of the [Hb105] IM highest frequency
or [Hd105] SM (PMM) highest frequency.
(Ex.) When [Hb105] = 60 Hz, [bb101] = 0.6 kHz (600 Hz) or higher
• When using the carrier frequency of 2.1 kHz or higher, see 2-1-3 Installation Environment on
page 2-7.
