(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.
⋅ When using an option sine wave filter (MT-BSL/BSC) for the 75K or higher, set "25"(2.5kHz) in Pr. 72.
(2) Soft-PWM control (Pr. 240)
⋅ Soft-PWM control is a control method that changes the motor noise from a metallic tone into an unoffending
complex tone.
(3) PWM carrier frequency automatic reduction function (Pr. 260)
⋅ If continuous operation is performed at 85% or higher of the rated inverter current (the value in the parenthesis on
page 346) with Pr.260 = "1 (initial setting)" and Pr.72 ≥ "3 (inverter carrier frequency is set to 3kHz is higher)," E.THT
(Inverter overload trip) is likely to occur. To avoid that, the carrier frequency is automatically lowered to as low as
2kHz. (Motor noise increases, but not to the point of failure.)
⋅ When Pr. 260 is set to"0", the carrier frequency becomes constant (Pr. 72 setting) independently of the load, making
the motor sound uniform.
Note that continuous operation should be performed at less than 85% of the inverter rating.
CAUTION
⋅ Decreasing the PWM carrier frequency is effective on EMI measures and on leakage current reduction, but increases motor
noise.
⋅ When PWM carrier frequency is set to 1kHz or less (
