4.4 Dynamic Braking
The Vacon 50X AC drive is supplied with an integrated dynamic braking (DB) resistor, and is designed to
have adequate dynamic braking for most applications. In cases where short stopping times or high inertia
loads require additional braking capacity, install an external resistor.
NOTE: External braking cannot be added to Size 0 models. For Size 4 (45–75 kW) and Size 5 (90–
150 kW) models, additional external dynamic braking requires a kit that provides the connec-
tions to the braking transistors. The XDBKITS4 and XDBKITS5 kits can be purchased through
VACON.
•
Starting from size 1 the internal DB resistor can be replaced by an external DB
resistor.
•
The terminal identifications of the DB resistor are “B+” and “DB”.
•
On the size 1 the DB resistor is connected by fast-on terminals 6.35 mm (see Figure
9 on page 28).
•
Starting from size 2 the DB resistor is connected by 2 separate terminals (see
Figure 3 on page 29). The internal DB resistor is connected by fast-on terminals “J3/
DB” and “J4/B+”, which are placed on the power board (right and left side of the
display).
To install an external resistor, first disconnect the internal DB resistor and properly terminate the wires
leading to it. Connect now the external resistance over the connections planned for it.
Changes to Parameter 410 must be made when using external DB resistors.
Verify with the manufacturer of the selected resistor that the resistor is appropriate for your application.
Contact VACON Application Engineering for further assistance with other possible sizing limitations.
Refer to Table 9 below for information about dynamic braking capacity for each Vacon 50X model.
