Mains connection

Supply voltages for two ranges
3-phase 208 - 240V +10/-15%
3-phase 380 - 480V +10/-15%
Supply frequency 48-63 Hz
Displacement power factor 0.98
Disconnecting the internal RFI filter is required

when operating in floating, impedance grounded, or
asymmetrically grounded networks

nominal values:
208 to 240 V input (3~): Motors 115 to 345 V (3~) and

0.75 - 75 kW (0.8 - 100 hp)
380 to 480 V input (3~): Motors 200 to 600 V (-01 types,
3~) / 230 to 690 V (-U1 types, 3~) and 0.75 - 355 kW (1 500 hp)
Frequency 0 to 500 Hz
Switching frequency
0.75 to 110 kW: 1 / 4 / 8 / 12 kHz

Up to 355 kW: 1 / 4 kHz
With 8 and 12 kHz

Set parameter 2607 SW FREQ CTRL = 1 (ON) which allows the drive
to reduce the switching frequency if/when the drives internal
temperature exceeds 90C (8kHz) or 80C (12kHz)
