Carrier Frequency Selection
îš‹ Setting the Carrier Frequency
Using the following parameters the carrier frequency setting can be fitted to the applications requirements.

Carrier Frequency, Current Derating and Overload Capability in Normal Duty 1 and 2
The Inverter overload capability depends among other things on the carrier frequency setting. If the carrier fre-
quency setting is higher than the factory setting, the overload current capability must be reduced.
Further, Normal Duty 2 enables a higher continuous output current before the Inverter overload calculation is
started.
Inverters in Protection Class IP00 and IP20 / NEMA 1 and Normal Duty 1
In Normal Duty 1 the default carrier frequency depends on the Inverter capacity. With the default setting the
overload capability is 120% of the rated output current for 1 minute. If the carrier frequency is set to a higher
value, the overload capability is reduced as shown in Fig 6.1.
