4 - ENERGY RECUPERATION VIA A BRAKING RESISTOR
All Xtrapuls CD1 drives are equipped with the power feedback system. When the motor is decelerating with high
inertia and high speed, the mechanical braking energy is reflected to the drive. This energy is dissipated inside a
resistor called "braking resistor".
In order to avoid heat dissipation inside the drive, the braking resistor is
ALWAYS
mounted outside. It
MUST
be
mounted out of range of heat sensitive and inflammable elements (plastic, cable sleeves, etc.).
For an optimum power feedback by the drives in a multiaxis application, the DC bus (DC+ and DC-) can be
connected in parallel (see diagram in chapter 4, section 1.5).
In this case, the mains input must also be parallel wired in order to balance the current load inside the AC/DC
converters.
It is recommended to mount the braking resistor on the drive with highest current rating.
An electronic control of the reflected power avoids the overload of the braking resistor. So, if the energy reflected
to the drives with parallel mounted DC busses is too high, the DC bus voltage will rise up to the triggering of the
"
Overvoltage
" fault. A second resistor must then be mounted on the second axis.
