07 Special Parameters 
The following are abbreviations for different types of motors: 
  IM: Induction motor 
  PM: Permanent magnet synchronous AC motor 
  IPM: Interior permanent magnet synchronous AC motor 
  SPM: Surface permanent magnet synchronous AC motor 
  SynRM: Synchronous reluctance motor 
 You can set this parameter during operation.

 Set the DC bus voltage at which the brake chopper is activated. Choose a suitable brake resistor 
to achieve the best deceleration. Refer to Chapter 7 Optional Accessories for information about 
brake resistors. 
 This parameter is only valid for the models as metioned.

DC Brake Current Level 
 
 
   
 Default: 0 
 
 
Settings 0–100% 
 100% corresponds to the rated current of the drive (Pr.00-01 x 1.414). 
 Set the level of the DC brake current output to the motor at start-up and stop. It is recommended 
that you start with a low DC brake current level and then increase until you reach the proper 
holding torque. However, the DC brake current cannot exceed the motor’s rated current to prevent 
the motor from burnout. DO NOT use the DC brake for mechanical retention, otherwise injury or 
accident may occur. 
 The PM has the magnetic field itself, using the DC brake may possibly cause the motor run in a 
reverse direction, therefore, it is not recommended to use DC brake for PM.

DC Brake Time at Start-Up 
 
 
   
 Default: 0.0 
 
 
Settings 0.0–60.0 sec. 
 The motor may continue rotating after the drive stops output due to external forces or the inertia 
of the motor itself. If you use the drive with the motor rotating, it may cause motor damage or 
trigger drive protection due to over-current. This parameter outputs DC current, generating torque 
to force the motor stop to get a stable start before motor operation. This parameter determines
