10.4 Brake energy management
When braking electrical motors, the kinec energy of the drive train is fed back regeneravely
to the DC bus. This energy c
auses a DC-bus voltage boost. If the energy fed back is too high,
the inverter reports an error.
Several dierent strategies can serve to avoid DC-bus overvoltage:
•
Use of a brake resistor
•
Stopping the deceleraon ramp funcon generator when the brake chopper threshold is
exceeded
•
Use of the "Inverter motor brake" funcon
•
Combinaon of the above named opons
•
DC-bus connecon
Details
The voltage threshold for braking operaon results on the basis of the rated mains voltage set:
Rated mains voltage Voltage threshold for braking operaon
230 V DC 380 V
400 V DC 725 V
480 V DC 775 V
The voltage threshold for braking operaon can be reduced by 0 ... 100 V. The reducon
required can be set in 0x2541:003 (PAR 706/003).
If the DC-bus voltage e
xceeds the voltage threshold for braking operaon, the braking method
selected in 0x2541:001 (PAR 706/001) is applied.
•
Opmum following of the actual frequency value to the frequency setpoint (e.g. quick stop
of the motor) can always be achieved by the use of a brake resistor.
•
Stopping the ramp funcon generator enables smoother deceleraon with lower torque
oscillaon..
•
The "Inverter motor br
ake" funcon allows for quick braking without using a brake resistor.
For process-relat
ed reasons, torque oscillaons may occur.
