◆ Torque Compensation
High speed motors typically have very low impedance compared to standard 60/120 Hz
motors. These high speed/low impedance motors saturate easily and may cause hunting and
oscillation when a high V/f pattern is applied, especially at high frequencies. Therefore,
Torque Compensation Gain (C4-01) is modified to limit voltage boost above 120 Hz and
eliminate voltage boost above 160 Hz as shown in Figure 2.

◆ On-Delay Compensation
High speed motors typically operate at low V/f ratios compared to standard 60/120 Hz
motors, and On-Delay Compensation settings may adversely affect the motor voltage and
cause hunting and oscillation. Therefore, On-Delay Compensation Gain is modified to
reduce its effectiveness above 120 Hz as shown in Figure 3.
Note: When S1-01 = 0, On-Delay Compensation is disabled at all frequencies.

◆ Using an Output Reactor
If drive oL2 faults occur and a typical drive overload is not suspected, an output reactor or a
larger drive may be required to eliminate oL2 faults. High-speed motors typically have very
low impedance, which may result in excessive peak motor current, increased motor
temperature, low speed cogging, or increased torque ripple.
It may be necessary to use an output reactor to add impedance to the system and reduce the
peak ripple current and eliminate nuisance oL2 faults. To confirm that excessive peak
current caused by low motor impedance is causing the oL2 fault, measure the output current
using an oscilloscope or chart recorder with a clamp-on amp meter.
Generally, the peak of the motor current waveform should not exceed 100% continuous drive HD nameplate / 2.5. This value may vary slightly by drive model. Refer to Figure 4
for an example of peak current measurement.
When using a reactor to reduce peak current, consult with the reactor manufacturer to select
a reactor that will smooth out the current waveform and also prevent a large voltage drop.
Proper reactor selection is critical in high speed applications because the reactor impedance
is directly proportional to the output frequency, which is usually given at 60 Hz. Example; a
reactor operating at 600 Hz will have 10 times the impedance and result in 10 times the
voltage drop at rated load.
Using a larger capacity drive to allow for the additional peak current may also solve the oL2
overload trip problem. The decision to employ an output reactor or increase drive capacity is
made on a case-by-case basis.

◆ Fine Tuning the Carrier Frequency
It is important to optimize the carrier frequency to improve the motor current waveform.
This will improve motor speed stability and torque performance and also limit hunting and
oscillation at higher speeds.
Use one of the following setting recommendations to fine tune the carrier frequency for
optimum motor performance:
1. For a flat 7.0 kHz across the speed range: Set C6-02 = “F” with C6-03 = “7.0”, C6-04 =
“7.0”, and C6-05 = “0”. The 7.0 kHz across the output frequency range keeps the carrier
frequency as high as possible.
2. To create a ramped carrier frequency pattern to keep the output frequency and
carrier frequency at a constant ratio:
• Set C6-02 = “F” to build a custom pattern.
• Set C6-03 = “7.0 kHz” so the motor will run at 7.0 kHz at top speed.
• Set C6-04 = “1.0 kHz” so the carrier frequency will be ramped for the greatest output
frequency range.
• Solve the following formula for C6-05:
C6-05 = [7000 Hz / (2 x E1-04)]
The C6-05 setting range is 7 ~ 99, however a setting lower than 7 disables the ramp
function and C6-03 is used across the output frequency range. For motors with output
frequencies greater than 500 Hz, use C6-05 = 7.
• Solve for corner output frequencies A and B
A Hz = [1000 Hz / (2 x C6-05)]
B Hz = [7000 Hz / (2 x C6-05)]

◆ Precautions for High Frequency/Low Impedance Motors
High frequency motors exhibit different characteristics than standard 60/120 Hz maximum
frequency motors. The low impedance associated with these high frequency motors often
requires manually programming a custom V/f pattern into the E1 parameter group to obtain
proper performance and rated power from the drive-motor combination.
The low impedance may also cause excessive motor current. In addition to considering the
use of an output reactor, it may be advantageous to oversize the drive to accommodate the
high peak current that may result from the low impedance motor. Using a drive that is at
least one or two models larger than the motor FLA may also help eliminate the oL2 faults.
Compatibility between the drive, motor, and the reactor is best accomplished via testing and
observation of the motor current waveform with an oscilloscope. Refer to Using an Output
Reactor on page 15.
