Brake Resistors
In applications where the motor is used as a brake, energy
is generated in the motor and sent back into the drive. If
the energy cannot be transported back to the motor, it
increases the voltage in the drive DC line. In applications
with frequent braking and/or high inertia loads, this
increase can lead to an overvoltage trip in the drive and,
nally, a shutdown. Brake resistors are used to dissipate
the excess energy resulting from the regenerative braking.
The resistor is selected based on its ohmic value, its power
dissipation rate, and its physical size. Danfoss oers a wide
variety of dierent resistors that are specially designed to
Danfoss drives. For ordering numbers and more
information on how to dimension brake resistors, refer to
the VLT

Brake Resistor MCE 101 Design Guide.
6.5 Sine-wave Filters
When a drive controls a motor, resonance noise is heard
from the motor. This noise, which is the result of the motor
design, occurs every time an inverter switch in the drive is
activated. The frequency of the resonance noise thus
corresponds to the switching frequency of the drive.
Danfoss supplies a sine-wave lter to dampen the acoustic
motor noise. The lter reduces the ramp-up time of the
voltage, the peak load voltage (U
PEAK
), and the ripple
current (ΔI) to the motor, which means that current and
voltage become almost sinusoidal. The acoustic motor
noise is reduced to a minimum.
The ripple current in the sine-wave lter coils also causes
some noise. Solve the problem by integrating the lter in a
cabinet or enclosure.
For ordering numbers and more information on sine-wave
lters, refer to the Output Filters Design Guide.
6.6
dU/dt Filters
Danfoss supplies dU/dt lters which are dierential mode,
low-pass lters that reduce motor terminal phase-to-phase
peak voltages and reduce the rise time to a level that
lowers the stress on the insulation at the motor windings.
This is a typical issue with set-ups using short motor
cables.
Compared to sine-wave
lters, the dU/dt lters have a cut-
o frequency above the switching frequency.
For ordering numbers and more information on dU/dt
lters, refer to the Output Filters Design Guide.
