Parameter Details
5
Note: The value in parenthesis indicates the carrier frequency for AOLV/PM.
Guidelines for Carrier Frequency Parameter Setup
Note: The maximum cable length is 100 m when using OLV/PM (A1-02 = 5) or AOLV/PM (A1-02 = 6).
n C6-03, C6-04, C6-05: Carrier Frequency Upper Limit, Lower Limit, Proportional Gain
Use these parameters to set a user defined or a variable carrier frequency. To set the upper and lower limits and the carrier
frequency proportional gain, first set C6-02 to F.
Setting a Fixed User Defined Carrier Frequency
A carrier frequency between the fixed selectable values can be entered in parameter C6-03 when C6-02 is set to F. In V/f
Control, parameter C6-04 must also be adjusted to the same value as C6-03.
Setting a Variable Carrier Frequency (V/f Control)
In V/f Control, the carrier frequency can be set up to change linearly with the output frequency. To do this, set the upper
and lower limits for the carrier frequency and the carrier frequency proportional gain (C6-03, C6-04, C6-05) as shown in
Figure 5.37.
Figure 5.37
Figure 5.37 Carrier Frequency Changes Relative to Output Frequency
Note: 1. C6-03 takes priority when the carrier frequency proportional gain C6-05 > 27 and C6-03 < C6-04.
2. When C6-05 is set lower than 7, C6-04 is disabled and the carrier frequency will be fixed to the value set in C6-03.
n C6-06 PWM Method
Determines how the drive should perform pulse width modulation. Enabled only when parameter C6-02 is set to F.
0: 2-phase/3-phase conversion
1: 2-phase modulation
2: 3-phase modulation
Symptom
<1> The carrier frequency may need to be lowered if the motor cable is too long. Refer to the table below.
<2> Increasing the carrier frequency is fine when the drive is set for Normal Duty, but remember that the drive rated current falls when the carrier
frequency is increased.
Remedy
Speed and torque are unstable at low speeds
Lower the carrier frequency.
Noise from the drive affects peripheral devices
Excessive leakage current from the drive
Wiring between the drive and motor is too long <1>
Audible motor noise is too loud Increase the carrier frequency or use Swing PWM. <2>
Wiring Distance Up to 50 m Up to 100 m Greater than 100 m
Recommended setting value for C6-02 1 to 6, F (up to 15 kHz) 1 to 2 (up to 5 kHz) 1 (up to 2 kHz)
No.
