(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 01800 or more, 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)
When continuous operation is performed at 85% or more of the inverter rated current (the parenthesized value of
the rated output current on page 304 or more) with the carrier frequency of the inverter set to 3kHz or more (Pr. 72
"3"), the carrier frequency is automatically reduced to 2kHz to protect the output transistor of the inverter. (Motor
noise increases, but it is not a 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 effect on EMI measures and on leakage current reduction, but increases motor noise.
When Pr. 570 = "0" (initial value), functions of Pr. 260 become invalid. PWM carrier frequency automatically decreases when load
increases. (Refer to page 75.)
When PWM carrier frequency is set to 1kHz or less (
operation due to increase in ripple currents, resulting in insufficient torque. In such case, set fast-response current limit
