Chapter 2 – Overview

Resistor Braking

The deceleration time of an AC drive can be decreased by using 
resistor braking. For this, the frequency converter has to be equipped 
with a braking chopper and a braking resistor.

The standard braking choppers and braking resistors available for the 
ACS 600 units are given in Table 2-1. 

The choppers and the resistors are rated so that the power equal to the 
short-term overload capacity of the ACS 600 can be handled during 
braking. The short-term overload capacity for a Normal Use rated 
ACS 600 is 110 % of the rated output power (current), and, for a 
Heavy-duty Use rated ACS 600, 150 % of the rated output power 
(current).

Braking Chopper 
NBRA-6xx

The NBRA-6xx Braking Choppers are optional devices for ACS 600 
Family frequency converters. 

The chopper connects the braking resistor to the intermediate circuit of 
the frequency converter whenever the voltage in the intermediate 
circuit exceeds the maximum limit.

The maximum limit is equal to 1.21 · 1.35 · 

U

1max

U

1max

 is dependent 

on the chopper voltage selection (see 

Chapter 3 – Voltage Selection 

and Mechanical Installation)

. With the selection 

400V

U

1max

 is 415 V; 

with the selection 

500V

U

1max

 is 500 V; with the selection 

>500V

 

(NBRA-66x), 

U

1max

 is 690V. Energy consumption by resistor losses 

lowers the voltage until the resistor can be disconnected. This limit is 
equal to 1.19 · 1.35 · 

U

1max

. The energy generated by the motor during 

a fast deceleration of the drive typically causes the voltage to rise in the 
intermediate circuit.

Note:

 

Drive Parameter 20.5 (20.7 for ACP 600) OVERVOLTAGE CTRL 

must be set to OFF to enable chopper operation.

The chopper control board supervises system status and detects 
failures such as:

braking resistor and resistor cable short circuits

chopper (IGBT) short circuit

chopper control board failure.
