158 [DC Brake Level]
Defines the DC brake current level injected into
the motor when “DC Brake” is selected as a stop
mode.
The DC braking voltage that is used in this
function is created by a PWM algorithm and can
fail to generate the smooth holding force
needed for some applications. Refer to the
PowerFlex 70 and 700 Adjustable Frequency AC
Drive Reference Manual, publication PFLEX-
RM001.
Important: Frame E drives can be limited to
less than 150% depending on the setting of
parameter 151 [PWM Frequency].

ATTENTION: If a hazard of injury due to movement of
equipment or material exists, an auxiliary mechanical braking
device must be used.
ATTENTION: Do not use this feature with synchronous or
permanent magnet motors. Motors can be demagnetized during
braking.
