Dynamic braking absorbs the braking energy. This parameter activates the function "Dynamic braking" and defines the rated duty cycle of the braking resistor (chopper resistor). Dynamic braking is active when the function is enabled and DC-link voltage exeeds the dynamic braking switch-on level, see below.

If a motor is quickly ramped down by the inverter or a big load is dropped by a lifting application, the motor works in regenerating mode and saves energy back to the inverter. In this case the DC-link voltage of the inverter raises. If that voltage gets too high (overvaltage , F0002), the inverter pulses are disabled and the motor coasts to standstill. With dynamic braking the regenerative energy is fed by the chopper to the external braking resistor and converted into heat. So it is possible to brake down the drive in a controlled way.

Dynamic braking switch-on level

If P1254 = 0 :

VDC, Chopper = 1.13 2 Vmains = 1.13 2 P0210

otherwise :

VDC, Chopper = 0.98 r1242

Dependency:

This function is not available for for MM440 PX (FSFX and FSGX).

If used with DC braking enabled as well compound braking will take priority.

Notice:

Initially the brake will operate at a high duty cycle dependant on the DC link level until the thermal limit is approached. The duty cycle specified by this parameter will then be imposed. The resistor should be able to operate at this level indefinitely without overheating.
