What is the definition of base frequency?

Base frequency is the input frequency for which an electric induction motor is designed to operate. Most motors will specify a 50 to 60 Hz value. Some drives have a programmable base frequency, so you must ensure that parameter matches the attached motor.

The term base frequency is used to differentiate it from the carrier frequency, this is a different drive parameter.
