7.2 Braking operation with brake resistor
To decelerate greater moments of inertia or with a longer operation in generator mode, a
brake resistor is required. It converts braking energy into heat.
The brake resistor is connected if the DC−bus voltage exceeds the switching threshold. This
prevents the controller from setting pulse inhibit through the "Overvoltage" fault and the
drive from coasting. The brake resistor serves to control the braking process at any time.
Options with 8400 motec:
1. There is no internal brake resistor integrated in the device. Braking energy cannot be
converted into heat.
2. An internal brake resistor can optionally be attached from the corresponding
accessories (
¶ 112). This enables the conversion of small amounts of braking
energy into heat, according to the technical data.
3. An external brake resistor can optionally be attached from the accessories (
¶ 113).
This enables the conversion of braking energy into heat, according to the technical
data.
7.2.1 Selection of the brake resistors
The recommended Lenze brake resistors are adapted to the corresponding controller (with
regard to 150 % of regenerative power). They are suitable for most of the applications.
For special applications, e.g. centrifuges, the brake resistor must meet the following
criteria:
