Group 8: Special Parameters
08 - 00 DC Brake Current Level Unit: 1
Settings 00 to 100% Factory Setting: 00
This parameter sets the level of DC Brake Current output to the motor during start-up and
stopping. When setting DC Brake Current, the Rated Current (Pr.00-01) is regarded as 100%.
It is recommended to start with a low DC Brake Current Level and then increase until proper
holding torque has been attained.
08 - 01 DC Brake Time during Start-up Unit: 0.1
Settings 0.0 to 60.0 sec Factory Setting: 0.0
This parameter determines the duration of the DC Brake current after a RUN command.
08 - 02 DC Brake Time during Stopping Unit: 0.1
Settings 0.0 to 60.0 sec Factory Setting: 0.0
This parameter determines the duration of the DC Brake current during stopping. If stopping
with DC Brake is desired, Pr.02-02 Stop Method must be set to 00 RAMP stop.
08 - 03 Start-Point for DC Brake Unit: 0.01
Settings 0.00 to 400.00Hz Factory Setting: 0.00
This parameter determines start frequency of DC brake before the AC motor drive decelerates
to stop. When this parameter is less than Pr.01-05, the start frequency of DC brake starts from
the min. output frequency.

DC Brake during Start-up is used for loads that may move before the AC drive starts, such as
fans and pumps. Under such circumstances, DC Brake can be used to hold the load in
position before setting it in motion.
