Overload Characteristic
At low speeds (below 3 Hz) the rms current  owing through the power transistors is higher,
reaching 1.4 times the rated 60Hz rms value. This is caused by the low frequency sine wave
created by the PWM. As a result, the continuous output current must be limited at low speeds
to prevent the power transistors from overheating. The COMBIVERT F5 will drop the carrier
frequency to 4kHz if necessary to be able to continue to provide current to the motor. Once the
output frequency rises above 3Hz or the current drops below the levels listed below, the carrier
frequency will be returned to the higher value.
