2.6 Derating of Rated Output Current
When increasing the carrier frequency setting (Function code F26) greater than the factory default 2
kHz, you need to derate the output current rating. Derating allows the higher ambient temperature than
the rating. The tables below list the derating factors in relation to the carrier frequency and ambient
temperature. Use the inverters within the range specified below.

Note: For 230 V class series inverters of 30 to 100 HP and 460 V ones of 60 to 125 HP, the upper limit
of the carrier frequency is 10 kHz.
