Braking system
D.8.1 Selecting the braking components
It is appropriate to use brake resistor or brake unit when the motor brakes sharply or the motor is
driven by a high inertia load. The motor will become a generator if its actual rotating speed is higher
than the corresponding speed of the reference frequency. As a result, the inertial energy of the motor
and load return to the inverter to charge the capacitors in the main DC circuit. When the voltage
increases to the limit, damage may occur to the inverter. It is necessary to apply brake unit/resistor to
avoid this accident happens.
Only qualified electricians are allowed to design, install, commission and
operate on the inverter.
Follow the instructions in "warning" during working. Physical injury or death
or serious property may occur.
Only qualified electricians are allowed to wire. Damage to the inverter or
braking options and part may occur.
Read carefully the instructions of brake resistors or units before connecting
them with the inverter.
Do not connect the brake resistor with other terminals except for PB and (-).
Do not connect the brake unit with other terminals except for (+) and (-).
Damage to the inverter or braking circuit or fire may occur.
Connect the brake resistor or brake unit with the inverter according to the
diagram. Incorrect wiring may cause damage to the inverter or other devices.

The inverters ≤15kW have embedded
brake units but the 18.5
–
30kW inverters support optional brake
units. Please select the brake resistor according to actual operation.
