Dynamic Braking Kit

for FlexPak Plus and MinPak Plus DC Drives

Model Numbers 14C214, 14C215, 14C216

Instruction Manual D2-3378

Product Description

Installation of the Dynamic Braking kit enables a single-phase FlexPak™ Plus or MinPak™ Plus DC drive to 
provide rapid, smooth stopping of the motor. If the Dynamic Braking kit is not used, the drive causes the motor 
to coast to rest when the contactor opens.

The Dynamic Braking kit includes a resistor that is automatically switched across the motor’s armature when 
the drive is stopped. The rotating mechanical energy of the motor is converted into electrical energy that is 
rapidly dissipated as heat. The resistor is sized for infrequent stops, so time must be allowed between stops for 
the heat to dissipate.

Important: The dynamic brake is not a mechanical holding brake. It will not hold the motor shaft in place. It will 

not prevent the motor from turning once motion has stopped.

The Dynamic Braking kit must be rated for the drive’s horsepower and voltage rating, as shown in table 1. Refer 
to your drive’s nameplate for the horsepower and voltage rating. The Dynamic Braking kit contents are also 
listed in table 1.

ATTENTION: Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the construction and operation of 
this equipment and the hazards involved should install, adjust, operate, and/or service this 
equipment. Read and understand this manual and other applicable manuals in their entirety 
before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss 
of life.
