Dynamic Braking
Dynamic Braking uses the inertial energy of the load to produce a braking
force or it may be used to reduce the bus voltage in an attempt to preclude an
overvoltage trip during deceleration. The inertial energy of the load drives the
rotor and induces a current into the stator of the motor.
The induced stator current (energy) is dissipated through a resistive load. The
resistive load is connected across terminals PA and PB (non-polarized). Using a
low-value, high-wattage resistance as a load for the generated current, the
resistive load dissipates the induced energy. The dissipated energy is the energy
that would otherwise have caused the rotor to continue to rotate.
Dynamic Braking helps to slow the load quickly; it cannot act as a holding
brake.
The Dynamic Braking function may be setup and enabled by connecting a
braking resistor from terminal PA to PB of the ASD and providing the proper
information at the DBR parameters: Dynamic Braking Resistor (DBR)
Capacity, Dynamic Braking Resistance, and DC Injection Braking Current.
