7.7.5
Limiting the maximum DC link voltage
How does the motor generate overvoltage?
An induction motor operates as a generator if it is driven by the connected load. A generator
converts mechanical power into electrical power. The electrical power flows back into the
inverter.
As a consequence, the DC link voltage in the inverter increases. The inverter can only
reduce the DC link voltage again if it has an energy recovery feature or it has a braking
resistor.
Above a critical DC link voltage both the inverter as well as the motor will be damaged.
Before the voltage can reach critical levels, however, the inverter switches the motor off with
the fault message "DC link overvoltage".
