7.6 Braking
There are various possible types of braking:
- Internal Braking Unit
- A braking unit can be used for speed reduction (e.g.: from 1000 to 800 rpm), whereas D.C. braking can only be
usedfor braking to standstill.
- The energy in the drive is converted into heat in both cases. This conversion takes place in a braking resistor
encased in the braking unit. With D.C. braking, the energy is converted into heat in the motor itself, resulting in a
further rise in motor temperature.
7.6.1 Braking unit (internal)
Frequency-regulated asynchronous motors during hyper-synchronous or regenerative functioning behave as genera-
This leads to an increase in the intermediate circuit voltage.
Braking units (BU) are therefore used in order to prevent the DC voltage rising to an impermissible value. When used,
these activate a braking resistor that is connected in parallel to the capacitors of the intermediate circuit. The feedback
energy is converted to heat via the braking resistor (R), thus providing very short deceleration times and restricted
four-quadrant operation.

Note! When the internal braking unit is present the protection must consist of fast-acting fuses! Follow the relative assembly instructions.
A twisted cable must be used for the connection of the braking resistor (terminals BR and C or BR1 and BR2). If the
resistor includes a thermal protection device (Klixon), this must be connected to the "External fault" input of the drive.
