6.2 Motor Performance Fine Tuning
This section offers helpful information for counteracting oscillation, hunting, or other faults 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. Consult Yaskawa for more information on detailed settings and fine-tuning the drive.

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.

• Motor noise
• Motor hunting and oscillation at speeds

• 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.

o2-04) and the Drive Duty Selection (C6-01).

<1> Default settings change when the Control Method is changed (A1-02) or a different V/f pattern is selected using parameter E1-03. The default setting shown is for V/f Control.
Note: Use slip compensation to improve speed precision in V/f Control. First make sure that the proper values have been set for the motor rated current to E2-01, motor rated slip
(E2-02), and motor no-load current (E2-03). Next, adjust the slip compensation gain set to C3-01 so that it is between 0.5 to 1.5.
