I was only using the readout on the VFD as it was convenient, PWM is
converted into a 0-10V output using hardware. 50kHz relates to 10V input
to the VFD, top speed for that pulley is 1100rpm or so, so 23.4kHz is
about right for 500rpm. What that seems to be telling me is EMC is
putting out a pwm signal, when I don't think it should be.

Will do.
