12.1 Brake operation with external brake resistor
Larger moments of inertia or longer generator−mode operation require an
external brake resistor. It converts mechanical brake energy into heat.
The brake transistor integrated into the controller switches the external
brake resistor in addition when the DC−bus voltage exceeds a threshold. It
can thus be avoided that the controller sets pulse inhibit in the event of an
"overvoltage" and forces the drive to coast to standstill. External brake
resistors ensure braking operation at any time.
12.1.1 Selection of the brake resistors
The suitable brake resistor must meet the following criteria:

Field Description
Active load Can move without being influenced by the controller (e.g.
unwinders)
Passive load Decelerates to standstill without influence of the controller
(e.g. horizontal traversing drives, centrifuges, fans)

IMPORTANT:
With EVF9381−EV, EVF9382−EV, EVF9383−EV only calculate
with P
max
/2 since these devices dissipate the brake energy
evenly via master and slave. If the brake power is lower, the
brake energy can also be dissipated via the master or the
slave; use P
max
for the calculation.
