Procedure
1. Setting the braking power
Using p0219, you dene the maximum braking power that the braking resistor must absorb.

Maximum braking power of the application
Figure8-67 Example of maximum braking power in an application
p0219>0 activates dynamic braking.
Boundary conditions for p0219:
– p0219 is too low:
The converter cannot fully convert the generated braking power into heat. The converter
extends the ramp-down time of the motor in order to reduce the braking power.
– p0219 > maximum braking power of the braking resistor:
The temperature monitoring of the braking resistor can trigger a converter fault.
Monitoring the temperature of the braking resistor (Page117)
Maximum braking power of the braking resistor:

The SIZER PC tool supports you when calculating the maximum braking power.
Conguring support (Page467)
2. If necessary: Reduce the activation threshold for the braking module
– Set p0212.8 = 1
– Measure the converter supply voltage.
– Enter the rated value of the converter supply voltage in p0210.
Enter the voltage value at the intended place of use of the converter, if known, in p0210.
You have now set the dynamic braking.
