Mitsubishi — 5.3.9 PWM carrier frequency and Soft-PWM control

 Access to parameters according to the password status ○: Enabled, Ч: Disabled *1 All parameter clear cannot be performed during the inverter operation. *2 Inputting a password is possible but the locked-up password cannot be unlocked or reset even with the valid password. • When "4, 5, 104, or 105" is set in Pr.296 and a password is set, Pr.15 JOG frequency is not listed on the parameter unit (FR- PU07). • When a password has been set and parameters are locked, Parameter copy cannot be performed using the operation panel or parameter unit.

• Setting Pr.240 "10 or 11" enables the Soft-PWM control in the low-speed range. • Setting Pr.240 = "1 or 11" enables the Soft-PWM control. • To enable the Soft-PWM control, set Pr.72 to 5 kHz or less. 92 5.
