P9 ASD Installation and Operation Manual
Dynamic Braking Protection
Thermal protection for the DBR circuit (see
) or an input contactor that will open the
3-phase power input circuit (see
) to the P9 ASD in the event that a DBR over-
temperature condition occurs is a requirement. Should a DBR failure or a power source over-voltage
condition occur, the DBR thermal protection circuitry will prevent hazardous DBR temperatures.
To use the
Dynamic Braking
function the following requirements must be met:
•
Enable
the DBR function,
•
Select a
Resistance
Value
, and
•
Set the
Continuous Braking Wattage
value at
,
, respectively.
Set the
Braking Resistance Overload Time
to establish how long the braking resistor
is allowed to sustain the overload condition before a trip is incurred (the factory default setting is 5
seconds).
Light-duty and heavy-duty resistors vary from a few ohms to several hundred ohms. The appropriate
resistance size will be typeform- and application-specific. Contact your TIC Sales Representative or the
TIC Customer Support Center for more information on your specific DBR requirements.
Heavy-duty DBRs should be wired using the same gauge wire as the motor leads. Light-duty DBRs may
use one wire size smaller (AWG or kcmil) than the motor leads.
Because the heat generated by the DBR will affect the cooling capacity of the heat sink, the resistor pack
should be mounted above or to the side of the ASD —
Never below the ASD
. Maintain a minimum of six
inches between the resistor pack and the ASD unit.
The total wire length from the ASD to the DBR should not exceed 10 feet.
The wiring from the ASD to the DBR should be twisted approximately two twists per foot throughout the
length of the wire.
If EMI/RFI noise is of concern, the DBR wiring should be 3-core screened cable. The screen should
connect to the ASD enclosure and the resistor enclosure.
While the in-line DBR fuse and the thermal relay are designed to prevent a catastrophic DBR over-current
condition, they are both intended to be used as backup protection
ONLY
.
A proper typeform-specific and application-specific system setup that includes using the appropriate
Dynamic Braking Resistor
and
Overload
settings will be required.
