10.4.2 Inverter chopper frequency
The chopper frequency of the inverter influences the concentricity behaviour, the
power loss in the controller and the noise generated in the connected motor. The
Lenze setting of 8 kHz is the optimum value for standard applications. The
following rule of thumb applies:
The lower the chopper frequency
l the lower the power loss.
l the higher the noise generation.
l the quality of concentricity.
In addition it is possible to adjust whether the chopper frequency is changed to
4 kHz, if the heatsink temperature amounts to only 5°C below the permissible
maximum temperature.With thismeasureyouavoid that the drivewillbeinhibited
through the fault ”overtemperature” and the motor will coast without torque.

) Note!
Please consider that, when operating with a chopper frequency of
16 kHz, the output current must be reduced to prevent the
controller from being overheated (derating).
You must adapt the current limiting values (C0022 and C0023) so
that the current indicated in the technical data will not be
exceeded.
