13.6 Brake chopper
All AC drive sizes AC drives with cable inlet on short side
can be fitted with an optional built-in brake chopper. The
brake resistor must be mounted outside the AC drive. The
choice of the resistor depends on the application switch-on
duration and duty-cycle. This option can not be after
mounted.
The following formula can be used to define the power of
the connected brake resistor:
Where:
P
resistor
required power of brake resistor
Brake level V
DC
brake voltage level (see table 45)
Rmin minimum allowable brake resistor
(see table 46, table 47 and table 48)
ED effective braking period. Defined as:
t
br
Active braking time at nominal braking
power during a 2 minute operation
cycle.
Maximum value of ED = 1, meaning continuous braking.
WARNING!
The table gives the minimum values of the
brake resistors. Do not use resistors lower
than this value. The AC drive can trip or
even be damaged due to high braking
currents.
