n C6-02: Carrier Frequency Selection
Parameter C6-02 sets the switching frequency of the drive's output transistors. It can be changed in order to reduce audible
noise and also reduce leakage current.
Note: The drive rated current is reduced when the carrier frequency is set higher than the default value.

Note: Swing PWM uses 2.0 kHz carrier frequency as a base but by applying special PWM patterns the audible noise of the motor is kept low.
Guidelines for Carrier Frequency Parameter Setup
Speed and torque are unstable at low speeds.
Noise from the drive is affecting peripheral devices.
Excessive leakage current from the drive.
Wiring between the drive and motor is too long.
Audible motor noise is too loud.
<1> The carrier frequency may need to be lowered if the motor cable is too long. Refer to the table below.
<2> In Normal Duty default setting is 7 (Swing PWM), equivalent to setting 2 kHz. Increasing the carrier frequency is fine when using the drive is set
for Normal Duty, but remember that the drive rated current falls when the carrier frequency is increased.

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, first set C6-02 to
"F".

<1> The default value is determined by the drive capacity (o2-04), and is reinitialized when the value set to C6-01 is changed.
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". Parameter
C6-04 must also be adjusted to the same value as C6-03.
Setting a Variable Carrier Frequency
The carrier frequency can be set up to change linearly with the output frequency. In this case the upper and lower limits for
the carrier frequency and the carrier frequency proportional gain (C6-03, C6-04, C6-05) have to be set as shown in
5.7.
