Brake chopper
A brake chopper can be used to handle the energy generated by a decelerating
motor. When the DC voltage rises high enough, the chopper connects the DC circuit
to an external brake resistor. The chopper operates on the pulse width modulation
principle.
The internal brake choppers of ACS880 drives start conducting when the DC link
voltage reaches 1.156 × U
DCmax
. 100% pulse width is reached at approximately 1.2 ×
U
DCmax
, depending on supply voltage range – see table under Voltage control and
trip limits above. (U
DCmax
is the DC voltage corresponding to the maximum of the AC
supply voltage range.) For information on external brake choppers, refer to their
documentation.
Note: For runtime braking, overvoltage control (parameter 30.30 Overvoltage control)
needs to be disabled for the chopper to operate.
