2.3.2.3 Brake resistor (B+, B-, PE)
During dynamic braking (frequency reduction) of a three-phase motor, electrical energy is returned to
the inverter as necessary. An internal or external braking resistor can be used to avoid shut-down of
the device due to overvoltage. With this, the integrated brake chopper (electronic switch) pulses the
link circuit voltage (switching threshold approx. 720 V DC) into the brake resistor. The brake resistor
converts excess energy into heat.

Internal braking resistor
Depending on the power of the inverter, brake resistors with the following key data are installed.
Installation of a brake resistor is optional. This is carried out at the factory and must therefore be taken
into account in the order. Subsequent installation is not possible.

In order to prevent non-permissible heating of the device, the continuous power is limited to 1/4 of
the rated power of the brake resistor.
This also has a limiting effect on the energy consumption.

External braking resistor
If greater braking powers are to be expected, these can only be dissipated with an external brake
resistor. A corresponding plug connection is then provided on option slot X2 or X4 (only Size 2).
The plug connector is installed at the factory and must therefore be taken into account in the order.
Subsequent installation is not possible.
For the dimensioning of an external brake resistor, the electrical specifications ( Section 7
"Technical data") must be complied with in order to prevent damage to the inverter or the brake
resistor due to overload.
A short, screened connection should be selected.
