Siemens SINAMICS G110M - Dynamic Braking

DC braking voltages
The line supply voltage available to the converter determines the amount of recti󹪝ed brake
voltage available for DC braking function. Listed in the following table are examples of the
correlation between the input AC voltage to the available DC voltage for the DC braking function.
Line voltage 380 V AC 400 V AC 440 V AC 480 V AC 500 V AC
Recti󹪝ed brake volt‐
age
171 V DC 180 V DC 198 V DC 216 V DC 225 V DC
The following formula can be use a guide to the recti󹪝ed brake voltage that is available from the
line voltage:
Line voltage x 0.45 = Brake coil voltage
For example: 400 V AC x 0.45 = 180 V DC.
8.20.3 Dynamic braking
Overview
Typical applications for dynamic braking require continuous braking and acceleration
operations or frequent changes of the motor direction of rotation:
• Horizontal conveyors
• Vertical and inclined conveyors
• Hoisting gear
