G7 ASD Operation Manual 111
PWM Carrier Frequency
Program ⇒ Special Control Parameters ⇒ Carrier Frequency
This parameter sets the frequency of the pulse width modulation signal applied
to the motor.
Note: The carrier frequency must be 2.2 kHz or above except when
operating in the Constant Torque, Variable Torque, or the 5-
Point Setting modes.
Note: The maximum Carrier Frequency setting allowed is 5.0 kHz for
the following ASDs:
230-volt ⇒ 75 HP – 150 HP.
460-volt ⇒ 150 HP – 350 HP.
600-volt ⇒ 150 HP – 300 HP.
The maximum Carrier Frequency setting allowed for all other
ASDs is 15 kHz.
Setting the Carrier Frequency above the Derate Threshold frequency (as listed
below) for a given ASD will reduce the capability of the ASD.
Direct Access Number — F300
Parameter Type — Numerical
Factory Default — 2.200
Changeable During Run — No
Minimum — 0.500
Maximum — (ASD-dependent)
Units — kHz
Example
Break/Make ST
Program ⇒ Protection Parameters ⇒ Retry/Restart
This parameter Enables/Disables the ability of the drive to start into a spinning
motor when the ST – CC connection opens momentarily and is then closed
(Break/Make ST) or after a power interruption (momentary power failure). This
parameter also Enables/Disables
F312 and F313.
Settings:
Box checked (Enabled)
Box not checked (Disabled)

Factory Default — Disabled
Changeable During Run — Ye s
