Functions
Carrier Frequency
The carrier frequency of the PWM waveform output from the Inverter can be changed.
Increasing the carrier frequency reduces the metallic noise from the motor. However, this may
increase noise or leakage current from the Inverter.
Helps avoid mechanical or motor resonance.
Note: The maximum carrier frequency varies depending on the capacity.
To raise the carrier frequency (fc), derate the output current. (Refer to "Appendix" at the
end of this manual.)
Set a derating output current value as electronic thermal level.
For details, refer to "Electronic Thermal Function" on page 5-110.
(If the existing electronic thermal value is lower than the derating value, the above setting
is not required.)
 If the above maximum rated carrier frequency and the derating value at 15 kHz are exceeded, the
Inverter may be damaged and/or the service life may be shortened.
Raising the carrier frequency reduces the DC braking force. For details, refer to "DC Injection
Braking (DB)" on page 5-135.
