VFDB 4132 Series Brake Modules

Instruction Sheet

XPreface

Thank you for choosing DELTA’s brake module. VFDB brake units are applied to absorb the motor regeneration energy when the three-phase induction motor stops by deceleration. With VFDB brake unit, the regeneration energy will be dissipated in dedicated brake resistors. To prevent mechanical or human injury, please refer to this instruction sheet before wiring. VFDB brake units are suitable for DELTA AC Motor Drives VFD Series 230V/460V/575V. VFDB brake units need to be used in conjunction with BR series brake resistors to provide the optimum brake characteristics. VFDB brake units (4132) are approved by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) and Canadian Underwriters Laboratories (cUL). The content of this instruction sheet may be revised without prior notice. Please consult our distributors or download the most updated version at http://www.delta.com.tw/industrialautomation.

\Basic Wiring Diagram

]Wiring Warnings

„Do not proceed with wiring while power is applied to the circuit.

„The wiring gauge and distance must comply with the local regulations.

„The +(P), -(N) terminals of the AC motor drive (VFD Series), connected to the brake unit (VFDB), must be confirmed for correct polarity lest the drive and the brake unit be damaged when power on.

„When the brake unit performs braking, the wires connected to DC+, DC-, B1 and B2 would generate a powerful electromagnetic field for a moment due to high current passing through. These wires should be wired separately from other low voltage control circuits lest they make interference or mis-operation.

„Inflammable solids, gases or liquids must be avoided at the location where the brake resistor is installed. The brake resistor had better be installed in individual metallic box with forced air-cooling.

„Connect the ground terminal to the Earth Ground. The ground lead must be at least the same gauge wire as leads DC+, DC-.

„Please install the brake resistor with forced air-cooling or the equivalent when frequent deceleration braking is performed (over 10%ED).

„Do NOT change any wirings and settings and touch any terminals and components while power is applied to avoid electric shock.

„It is recommended to use the ring terminals for main circuit wiring. Make sure the terminals are fastened before power on.

^Definition for the Brake Usage ED%

100%

		T1	ED% = T1/T0x100(%)
Brake Time
			T0
	Cycle Time

The definition of the brake usage ED(%) is to assure having enough time for the brake unit and brake resistor to dissipate the heat generated by brake. When the brake resistor heats up, the resistance would increase with temperature, and brake torque would decrease accordingly.

_The Voltage Settings

1.Voltage setting: the power source of the brake unit is DC voltage from +(P), -(N) terminals of the AC motor drive. It is very important to set the voltage of the brake unit based on the actual input power of the AC motor drive before operation. The setting has a great influence on the potential of the operation voltage for the brake unit. Please refer to the table below.

NOTE

„Please make sure that power is OFF before setting the jumper.

„The steps for jumper setting: Step 1. Remove the top cover.

Step 2. Remove the screws on the side case (3 screws for each side). Step 3. Remove the screws that connected bottom case to the side case (2

screws for each side).

Step 4. After removing the power line of the fan, pull out the heat sink slowly until the jumper can be seen. Then the jumper can be set.

„Before changing the setting of the power voltage, make sure the power has been turned off. Please set power voltage as the possible highest voltage for unstable power system. Take 380VAC power system for example. If the voltage may be up to 410VAC, 415VAC should be set.

„For DELTA’s AC motor drive (VFD Series), please set parameter (Over Voltage Stall Prevention) as “close” to disable over-voltage stall prevention, to ensure stable deceleration characteristic.

„Before wiring, please notice equivalent resistors value shown in the column “Equivalent resistors specification for each brake unit” in the above table to prevent damage.

Note 1: When the AC motor drive is used with DC reactor, please refer to the wiring diagram in the AC drive user manual for wiring terminal DC+ of brake unit.

Note 2: DO NOT wire terminal DC- to the neutral point of power system.

NOTE

„For safety consideration, install an overload relay between the brake unit and the brake resistor. In conjunction with the magnetic contactor (MC) prior to the drive, it can perform complete protection against abnormality.

„The purpose of installing the thermal overload relay is to protect the brake resistor from damage due to frequent brake, or due to brake unit keeping operating resulted from unusual high input voltage. Under such circumstance, just turn off the power to prevent damaging the brake resistor.

„Please refer to the specification of the thermal overload relay.

„The alarm output terminals (RA, RC) of the brake unit will be activated when the temperature of the heat sink exceeds 95°C. It means that the temperature of the installation environment may exceed 50°C, or the brake %ED may exceed 10%ED. With this kind of alarm, please install a fan to force air-cooling or reduce the environment temperature. If the condition not due to the temperature, the control circuit or the temperature sensor may have been damaged. At this time, please send the brake unit back to the manufacturer or agency for repair.

„The AC Motor Drive and brake unit will be electrified at the same time while turning on the NFB (No-fuse breaker). For the operation/stop method of the motor, please refer to the user manual of the AC Motor Drives VFD Series. The brake unit will detect the inner DC voltage of the AC motor drive when it stops the motor by deceleration. The extra regeneration will be dissipated away rapidly by the brake resistor in the form of heat. It can ensure the stable deceleration characteristic.

„Besides, using thermal overload relay to be the protection system and brake resistor, temperature switch can be installed on brake resistor side as the protection. The temperature switch must comply with the brake resistor specification or contact your dealer.

2.MASTER (M) /SLAVE (S) setting: the factory setting is “M”. The “S” setting is applied to two or more brake units in parallel, making these brake units be enabled/disabled synchronously. Then the power dissipation of each unit will be equivalent so that they can perform the brake function completely.

In the following diagram, it shows jumper setting for the application of three brake units. After wiring, the jumper in the first brake unit should be set to “M” and others must be set to “S” to complete the system setting.
