NOTE
The ability to accelerate a given load at a particular rate is limited
by the output power capability of the drive/motor combination . The
acceleration of high-inertia and high-friction loads may be affected by
the current limiting characteristics of the drive . Refer to Parameters: 16 -
CURRENT, 19 - FX BOOST, and 20 - AC BOOST for more information .

DECEL
(DECELERATION TIME)
DECEL sets the deceleration rate for all speed reference sources . The DECEL setting is
the time to decelerate from BASE FREQUENCY to 0 Hz . As with Parameter 8 - ACCEL,
this is a linear function . If the drive is set to coast to a stop, DECEL will have no effect when
a STOP command is given . The range of adjustment for DECEL depends on horsepower,
voltage, and whether Dynamic Braking (DB) is being used . Refer to the table below:

NOTE 1: 240/120 Vac units have the same limits as 240/200 Vac units .
NOTE 2: This parameter can be set as low as the value shown in the WITH DB column .
However, the value shown in the WITHOUT DB column is the operational limit
of a drive without dynamic braking . For example, DECEL can be set as low
as 0 .1 seconds on a 10 HP, 480 Vac drive without dynamic braking, but the
actual minimum deceleration time would be 0 .5 seconds .
If an attempt is made to decelerate a high-inertia load too quickly, the motor will regenerate
voltage back into the drive . This will cause the DC bus voltage to rise, which can result in
a HI VOLTS fault . In order to prevent faulting, the drive will enter DECEL FREEZE, which
halts the deceleration until the DC bus voltage returns to a normal level . The drive will
then begin to decelerate again, and if necessary, will enter DECEL FREEZE repeatedly
to avoid faulting . If a very short deceleration time is programmed, DECEL FREEZE may
not be able to compensate fast enough, resulting in a HI VOLTS fault .
In applications where very short deceleration times are required on high-inertia loads,
dynamic braking may be required . Consult the factory for more information on the Dynamic
Braking option .
