Dynamic Braking
The dynamic braking can be used to quickly stop the motor. The motor is used as a generator and the energy
from the motor is dissipated into resistors.
Dynamic Braking only works on Brush type motors.
Braking Operation Sequence
Figure 27: MX2 ATL Synchronous Brushtype with DB Braking Resistor.
The dynamic braking resistor is sized to 3X the motor FLA at rated motor voltage. For example, motor with
stator rated 600VAC, 380A, rated 2 starts/hour hot.
Resistor is sized to draw 1140A when 600VAC is applied
:
•
600 / (sqrt3 x 1140) = 0.304 ohms/phase Y connected
•
600 / (1140/sqrt3) = 0.912 ohms / phase delta connected
The resistor must be capable of dissipating the energy in the rotating assembly. The energy is calculated as:
E = 0.0002311 x I x rpm

, where: I = total inertia in lb.ft

E = energy in J = w.s
