A425 [DC Brake Level]
Related Parameter(s):
P107, A418
Defines the maximum DC brake current, in amps, applied to the motor when
P107
[Stop Mode] is set to either
“Ramp” or “DC Brake”.

ATTENTION:
If a hazard of injury due to movement of equipment or material exists, an auxiliary mechanical braking
device must be used.
ATTENTION:
This feature should not be used with synchronous or permanent magnet motors. Motors may be
demagnetized during braking.
A427 [DB Resistor Sel]

Stop drive before changing this parameter.
Enables/disables external dynamic braking. This parameter applies only to Frame C drives.

The drive is able to provide full braking indefinitely. Braking power is limited by the external DB resistor. When this parameter is set to
1 “Normal
RA Res” and an appropriate RA resistor is used (see selection
Table B.C
), the drive provides calculated resistor overload protection. However,
the drive cannot protect against a brake IGBT failure.
ATTENTION:
A risk of fire exists if external braking resistors are not protected. The external resistor package must be
self-protected from over temperature or the protective circuit shown in
Figure B.3 on page B-7
, or equivalent, must be supplied.
