A168 [PWM Frequency] Related Parameter(s): A169
Sets the carrier frequency for the PWM output waveform. The chart below provides derating
guidelines based on the PWM frequency setting.
Important: Ignoring derating guidelines can cause reduced drive performance.
Values Default: 4.0 kHz
Min/Max: 2.0/10.0 kHz (Frame C and D drives)
2.0/8.0 kHz (Frame E, F, G and H drives)
Display: 0.1 kHz

A169 [PWM Mode] Related Parameter(s): A168
Selects the PWM algorithm used.
Options 0 “Space Vector” 3-Phase Modulation: Provides quiet operation and produces
less motor losses.
1 “2-Phase” (Default) 2-Phase Modulation: Provides less drive losses and best
performance with long motor cable runs.
