Note: With high inertia loads, the load’s inertia will cause the motor to continue rotating.
The inverter does not control the motor during Free-Run.
Power Braking
Power Braking is applied during deceleration when the inverter’s DC voltage rises above a specified
level due to motor regenerated energy. The inverter determines the optimum deceleration rate and
will adjust the deceleration time or will reaccelerating the motor. Power braking can be used when
short deceleration times are needed without brake resistors or when optimum deceleration is
needed without causing an over voltage fault.
• To prevent overheating or damaging the motor, do not apply power braking to the
loads that require frequent deceleration.
• Stall prevention and power braking only operate during deceleration.
• Power braking takes priority over stall prevention. In other words, when both bit3 and
bit4 of Pr.50 (stall prevention and flux braking) are set, power braking will take
precedence and operate.
• Note if deceleration time is too short or inertia of the load is too great, an overvoltage
fault stll may occur.
• Note when power braking is used, the actual deceleration time can be longer than the
pre-set deceleration time.
