Machine Protection
This section explains functions for protecting the machine.
 Reducing Noise and Leakage Current
The switching frequency of the Inverter’s output transistor can be changed to reduce carrier noise and leakage
current from the motor.
Related Constants
* 1. The factory settings depend on the capacity of the Inverter. The values for a 200 V Class Inverter for 0.4 kW are given.
* 2. The setting ranges depend on the capacity of the Inverter. The values for a 200 V Class Inverter for 0.4 kW are given.
* 3. This constant can be monitored or set only when F is set for C6-02.
* 4. Displayed in Quick Programming Mode when motor 2 is set for a multi-function input.
* 5. The maximum output frequency depends on the setting for the carrier frequency (refer to page 6-43).

upper limit
Set the carrier frequency upper limit and 
lower limit in kHz units.
The carrier frequency gain is set as fol-
lows:
With the vector control method, the 
upper limit of the carrier frequency is 
fixed in C6-03.
K is a coefficient that depends on the 
setting of C6-03.
C6-03 ≥ 10.0 kHz: K = 3
10.0 kHz > C6-03 ≥ 5.0 kHz: K = 2
5.0 kHz > C6-03: K = 1
