7.21 Electrically braking the motor
A dierentiation is made between mechanically braking and electrically braking a motor:
• Mechanical brakes are generally motor holding brakes that are closed when the motor is at
a standstill. Mechanical operating brakes, that are closed while the motor is rotating are
subject to a high wear and are therefore often only used as an emergency brake.
If your motor is equipped with a motor holding brake, then you should use the converter
functions to control this motor holding brake, see Section Motor holding brake (Page 224).
• The motor is electrically braked by the converter. An electrical braking is completely wear-
free. Generally, a motor is switched o at standstill in order to save energy and so that the
motor temperature is not unnecessarily increased.
Braking with the motor in generating mode
If the motor brakes the connected load electrically, it will convert the kinetic energy of
the motor to electrical energy. The electrical energy E released on braking the load is
proportional to the moment of inertia J of the motor and load and to the square of the
speed n. The motor attempts to pass the energy on to the converter.
