1.2.2.4.4.2.3. Analysis Tab
Click the Analysis tab to display plots of drive module activity in terms of the DC
bus voltage and DC bus current. The analysis activities are described as follows:
• The red line is the bus voltage trip point.
• The green line is the DC bus voltage.
• The grey line is the bus current.

(1) Click Apply to implement these changes.
Shunt On
The voltage level where the shunt enables.
Shunt Off
The voltage level where the shunt turns off.
Trip
The voltage level where the drive trips on an overvoltage fault by
changing the trip volts.
Resistance
The shunt resistance level in ohms.
Power
Changing the power value modifies how much energy the shunt
resistor can dissipate continuously.
Capacitance
Changing the capacitance value changes the DC bus capacitance.

Time Slice
The Time Slice variable sets the time interval for the Analysis tab.
Because the shunt switching action is modeled during selection,
this value needs to be very short to obtain an accurate shunt
selection (0.1 ms, for example).
However, if the total cycle time is more than a few seconds, the
calculation time may become excessive. The time is equal to the
longest axis cycle.
