S1 Threshold switch
The response threshold at which the Braking Module is activated and the DC-link voltage
generated during braking are specified in the following table.
WARNING
Electric shock when the threshold switch switches
Operating the threshold switch when a voltage is present can cause death or serious injury.
•
Only operate the threshold switch when the Motor Module is switched off and the DC
link capacitors are discharged.

967 V is the default factory setting. With a supply voltage
of 3 AC 500 V, the response threshold can be set to 841 V
to reduce the voltage stress on the motor and converter.
This does, however, reduce the possible braking power
with the square of the voltage (841/967)² = 0.75.
The maximum possible braking power is therefore 75%.

1158 V is the default factory setting. With a supply volt-
age of 3 AC 660 V, the response threshold can be set to
1070 V to reduce the voltage stress on the motor and
converter. This does, however, reduce the possible brak-
ing power with the square of the voltage (1070/1158)² =
0.85.
The maximum possible braking power is therefore 85%.

Note
Positions of the threshold switches
The switch positions of the threshold switches of the Braking Modules are positioned on the
panel as follows:
•
Braking Modules for JX: Position "1" is at the back; position "2" is at the front
Note
"Overvoltage" fault
Even when the response threshold is set to a low value, the DC-link voltage can still reach the
maximum voltage value (hardware shutdown threshold), thus triggering the "Overvoltage"
fault. This can occur, for example, in cases where there is too much regenerative energy for
the available braking power.
To prevent the DC-link voltage from exceeding the threshold, the Vdc-max controller must be
enabled (p1240) and the device supply voltage set accordingly (p0210).
