6.2 Motor Performance Fine-Tuning
This section offers helpful information for counteracting oscillation, hunting, or other problems that occur while
performing a trial run. Refer to the section below that corresponds to the motor control method used.
Note: This section describes parameters that are commonly edited and may be set incorrectly. Consult Yaskawa for more information
on detailed settings and fine-tuning the drive.
◆ Fine-Tuning V/f Control and V/f Control with PG

Problem
<1> Default setting value is dependent on parameter A1-02, Control Method Selection, and o2-04, Drive Model Selection.
<2> Default settings change when the Control Method is changed (A1-02) or a different V/f pattern is selected using parameter E1-03.
<3> ASR in V/f Control with PG only controls the output frequency, and therefore does not allow the high gain settings possible when using Close
Loop Vector control.
<4> Refer to C5: Automatic Speed Regulator (ASR) on page 171 for details on Automatic Speed Regulator (ASR).

Setting
Motor hunting and oscillation at speeds
between 10 and 40 Hz
Hunting Prevention Gain
(n1-02)
• If insufficient motor torque relative to the size of the load causes hunting,
reduce the setting.
• When motor hunting and oscillation occur with a light load, increase the
setting.
• Lower this setting if hunting occurs when using a motor with a relatively
low inductance, such as a high-frequency motor or a motor with a larger
frame size.
1.00 0.10 to 2.00
• Motor noise
• Motor hunting and oscillation at
speeds up to 40 Hz
Carrier Frequency Selection
(C6-02)
• If the motor noise is too loud, increase the carrier frequency.
• When motor hunting and oscillation occur at speeds up to 40 Hz, lower
the carrier frequency.
• The default setting for the carrier frequency depends on the drive
capacity (o2-04) and the Duty Selection (C6-01).
1 (2 kHz) 1 to max. setting
• Poor torque or speed response
• Motor hunting and oscillation
Torque Compensation Primary
Delay Time
(C4-02)
• If motor torque and speed response are too slow, decrease the setting.
• If motor hunting and oscillation occur, increase the setting.
200 ms
<1> 100 to 1000 ms
• Poor motor torque at speeds below 10
Hz
• Motor hunting and oscillation
Torque Compensation Gain
(C4-01)
• If motor torque is insufficient at speeds below 10 Hz, increase the setting.
• If motor hunting and oscillation with a relatively light load, decrease the
setting.

• Poor motor torque at low speeds
• Motor instability at motor start
Mid Output Voltage A (E1-08)
Minimum Output Voltage
(E1-10)
• If torque is insufficient at speeds below 10 Hz, increase the setting.
• If motor instability occurs at motor start, decrease the setting.
Note: The recommended setting value is for 200 V class drives. Double this
value when using a 400 V class drive.

After setting the motor-rated current (E2-01), motor-rated slip (E2-02), and
motor no-load current (E2-03), adjust the slip compensation gain (C3-01).

• To improve motor torque speed response, gradually reduce this setting by

• If motor hunting and oscillation occur as a result of load inertia, gradually
increase the setting by 50 ms and check the performance.
Note: Ensure that n2-02 ≤ n2-03. When changing n2-02, set C4-02 (Torque

• If overvoltage occur, gradually increase this setting by 50 ms.
• If response is slow, gradually reduce this setting by 10 ms.

increase the value of C4-06 (Torque Compensation Primary Delay Time 2)
