(1) PWM carrier frequency changing (Pr. 72)
You can change the PWM carrier frequency of the inverter.
Changing the PWM carrier frequency produces an effect on avoiding the resonance frequency of a mechanical
system or motor or on EMI measures or on leakage current reduction caused by the PWM switching.
Carrier frequencies under Real sensorless vector control or vector control are as shown below.

When using an option sine wave filter (MT-BSL/BSC) for the FR-A720-02880 (FR-A740-01440) or more, set "25"
(2.5kHz) in Pr. 72.
REMARKS
When "25" (available with the FR-A720-02880 (FR-A740-01440) or more) is set in Pr. 72, V/F control is forcibly selected.

Description
PWM carrier frequency can be changed.
The setting displayed is in [kHz]. Note
that 0 indicates 0.7kHz, 15 indicates
14.5kHz and 25 indicates 2.5kHz.
Soft-PWM is invalid
"
When Pr. 72 = "0 to 5" (
0 to 4
A720-02880 (FR-A740-01440) or
more), soft-PWM is valid.
PWM carrier frequency is constant
independently of load.
When the carrier frequency is set to
3kHz or more (Pr. 72 "3"), perform
continuous operation at less than 85% of
the rated inverter current.
If the continuous operation is performed
with 85% of the rated current or higher
while the LD is set, the carrier frequency
is lowered to as low as 2kHz.
