(seconds)
Calculate Peak Braking Power:
Record Peak Braking Power:
Compare the peak braking power (P
b
) to the drive rated regenerative
power (P
rg
). If the peak braking power is greater than the drive rated
regenerative power, the decel time will have to be increased so that the
drive does not enter current limit. Drive rated regenerative power (P
rg
) is
determined by:
P
rg
= Drive rated regenerative power
V = DC bus regulation voltage from Table A.A
R = Minimum brake resistance from Table A.A
