NOTE
¾
The switch-on threshold V
DC chopper
of the dynamic resistor braking is dependent
on P1254

a) Auto-detect circuit enabled (P1254 = 1):
- U
DC-Chopper
(P1254 = 1) is automatically calculated when the drive
inverter runs-up - i.e. after the line supply voltage has been
connected.
- Using the auto-detect function, the U
DC-Chopper
threshold automatically
adapts itself to the line supply voltage at the particular installation
location.

¾
External braking modules (chopper units) including braking resistor can be used
with all of the sizes, FS FX and FS GX. When engineering the system, the
particular braking module / resistor must be taken into consideration.
WARNING
¾
Braking resistors, which are to be mounted on MICROMASTER 440, must be
designed so that they can tolerate the power dissipated.
¾
If an unsuitable braking resistor is used there is a danger of fire and that the
associated drive inverter will be significantly damaged.
¾
The chopper control, integrated in the drive converter is designed for the
braking resistor value assigned in Catalog DA51.2,
e.g.: MICROMASTER 440
6SE6440-2UD23-0BA1
brake

6SE6400-4BD12-0BA0

Ω
¾
A brake resistor with a lower resistance value will destroy the drive converter.
In this case, an external braking unit must be used.
¾
When operational, the temperature of braking resistors increases – do not
touch ! Ensure that there is sufficient clearance around the unit and there is
adequate ventilation.
¾
A temperature protection switch must be used to protect the units against
overheating.
