Regenerative Braking Function
5-12-1
Regenerative Braking Function
• During motor deceleration and elevator descent, regenerative energy sometimes is returned to the
inverter and an overvoltage is detected due to an excessive regenerative amount.
• The regenerative braking function uses the built-in or an external regenerative braking resistor to de-
crease the internal Main Circuit DC Voltage of the inverter by converting the regenerated energy
from the motor into heat via external braking resistors.
• The 3G3M1 Series has a built-in regenerative braking circuit and a regenerative braking function op-
erates at all times regardless of whether the inverter is running or has stopped.

Braking Resistor Electronic Thermal Function
• Either use a braking resistor with thermal contact or use the braking resistor electronic thermal func-
tion for overheat protection of the external braking resistor.
• Use the braking resistor electronic thermal function by setting the discharge capacity, allowable
average loss and resistance value to each of F50, F51 and F52. These values are determined by
inverter model and type of braking resistor.
• To use the regenerative braking function, set Anti-regenerative Control Function Selection (H69) to
“0: Disable.”
