5.7.1
Setting the voltage source for braking operation
The voltage threshold for braking operation is set via the mains voltage (
) and the reduced bra-
. When this "brake chopper threshold" is exceeded in the DC bus, the en-
ergy is dissipated in the DC bus via the brake resistor and the DC-bus voltage is reduced.
• The brake chopper threshold is preset as follows so that it is higher than the specified mains
(
• This brake chopper threshold can be reduced by 0 ... 150 V via
Example:
• A 400 V device has a maximum mains voltage of 420 V AC.
• Maximum stationary DC-bus voltage: 420 V AC * 1.414 = 594 V DC
•
has been set with the selection "0" for 400 V AC mains.
• This means that
can be set to a maximum of 131 V DC (725 V DC - 594 V DC).
5.7.2
Avoiding thermal overload of the brake resistor
• Parameterisation of an error response in
and evaluation of the parameterised error mes-
sage within the application or within the machine control system.
• See chapter entitled "
Brake resistor monitoring (I2xt)
• External interconnection using the thermal contact on the brake resistor (e.g. supply interrupti-
on via the mains contactor and activation of the mechanical brakes).
