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.

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.
Parameter No. Corrective Action Default
Suggested
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).
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.
1.00 0.50 to 1.50
• 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.
E1-08: 15.0 V
E1-10: 9.0 V

Default setting

Problem Parameter No. Corrective Action Default
Suggested
Setting
Motor performance not as desired
Motor parameters
(E1-, E5-)
• Check the settings for base and maximum frequency in the E1-
parameters
• Check E5- parameters and make sure all motor data has been set
correctly. Be careful not to enter line to line data where single-phase data
is required, and vice versa.
• Perform Auto-Tuning.
