Setting Precautions
C6-01 (Heavy/Normal Duty Selection)
The inverter supplies Heavy/Normal Duty modes Heavy Duty, Normal Duty 1 and Normal Duty 2. The setting
ranges and factory settings of some parameters change with the setting of C6-01. See page 5-81, Parameter
Initial Values that Change With the Setting of C6-01 and page 5-82, Parameter Setting Ranges that Change
With the Setting of C6-01.
The table below shows the main differences of the three modes.
Carrier Frequency Selection
When selecting the carrier frequency, observe the following precautions:
• Adjust the carrier frequency according to the cases shown below.
• If the wiring distance between Inverter and motor is long: Set the carrier frequency low. (Use the fol-
lowing values as guidelines.
• If speed and torque vary at low speeds: Lower the carrier frequency.
• If Inverter noise is affecting peripheral devices: Lower the carrier frequency.
• If leakage current from the Inverter is large: Lower the carrier frequency.
• If metallic noise from the motor is large: Increase the carrier frequency.
