In order to avoid this situation add a capacitor on the motor supply big enough to absorb the
overall energy flowing back to the supply. The capacitor must be rated to a voltage equal or
bigger than the maximum expected over-voltage and can be sized with the formula:

where:
U
MAX
- is the over-voltage protection limit expressed in [V]. You can read this value in the
“Drive Info” dialogue, which can be opened from the “Drive Setup”.
C
Drive
- is the drive internal capacitance ( 220 μF)
U
NOM
- is nominal motor supply voltage expressed in [V]. You can read this value in the
“Drive Info” dialogue, which can be opened from the “Drive Setup”.
E
M
- the overall energy flowing back to the supply in Joules. In case of a rotary motor
and load,

In case of a linear motor and load, the motor inertia J

and the load inertia J

will be replaced by
the motor mass and the load mass measured in [kg], the angular speed ϖ
M
will become linear
speed measured in [m/s] and the friction torque T
F
will become friction force measured in [N].
