DC Braking Settings
The DC braking feature provides
additional stopping power when compared
to just a normal deceleration to a stop. DC
braking is particularly useful at the low
frequency end of the deceleration ramp
where there is little or no motor torque
available for stopping. If you enable DC
braking, it turns on during deceleration at a
frequency you can specify. If desirable,
you can specify a delay time during which the motor coasts (free runs) before DC
braking helps stop the rotation.
Most importantly, the force and duration of DC braking are adjustable. Be careful to not
specify a long braking time that causes motor overheating. If you use DC braking, we
recommend using a motor with a built-in thermistor, and wiring it to the inverter’s
thermistor input (see page 4–17). Also refer to the motor manufacturer’s specifications
for duty-cycle recommendations during DC braking.
