u C6: Carrier Frequencyn C6-02: Carrier Frequency SelectionSets the switching frequency of the drive output transistors. Changes to the switching frequency lower audible noise and reduceleakage current.Note: Increasing the carrier frequency above the default value automatically lowers the drive current rating. Refer to Rated Current Dependingon Carrier Frequency on page 50.No. Parameter Name Setting Range DefaultC6-02 Carrier Frequency Selection 1 to 4, F Determined by A1-02 and o2-04.Setting 1: 4.0 kHzSetting 2: 6.0 kHzSetting 3: 8.0 kHzSetting 4: 10.0 kHzSetting F: User defined (C6-03 to C6-05)Guidelines for Carrier Frequency Parameter SetupSymptom RemedySpeed and torque are unstable at low speedsLower the carrier frequency.Noise from the drive affects peripheral devicesExcessive leakage current from the driveWiring between the drive and motor is too long <1>Audible motor noise is too loud Increase the carrier frequency.<1> The carrier frequency may need to be lowered if the motor cable is too long. Refer to Table 1.14.Table 1.14 Wiring Distance and Carrier FrequencyWiring Distance Up to 50 m Greater than 50 mRecommended setting value for C6-02 1 to 4 (up to 10 kHz) 1 (up to 4 kHz)Note: The maximum cable length is 100 m when using OLV/PM (A1-02 = 5).n C6-03, C6-04, C6-05: Carrier Frequency Upper Limit, Lower Limit, Proportional GainNote: C6-04 and C6-05 are available in V/f Control mode only.These parameters set a user-defined or a variable carrier frequency.
