DC braking
6.2.26.1 Overview
The DC braking is used to decelerate/stop the drive if no braking energy shall enter
the DC link. No braking resistor is required. The braking is caused by DC voltage,
which is applied onto the motor winding.
The braking energy is converted into heat loss in the motor.
➢ Select the DC braking time and the max. DC braking cur-
rent by way that the motor is not overheated.
DC braking is available for the following motor / control types:
DC braking is available for:
• operation mode 2: velocity mode
• control mode v/f or ASCL
• Motor type: Asynchronous motor
