Dynamic Braking - Siemens SINAMICS G120C Operating Instructions Manual

Advanced commissioning
8.21 Electrically braking the motor
NOTICE
Overheating of the motor due to compound braking
The motor will overheat if you use compound braking too frequently or for too long. This may
damage the motor.
• Monitor the motor temperature.
• Allow the motor to adequately cool down between braking operations.
• If necessary, select another motor braking method.

Dynamic braking

Overview
Dynamic braking processes the regenerative power that occurs during braking of the motor. In
this way, the converter can accelerate and brake the motor with the same dynamic response.
The following are typical applications for dynamic braking:
• Centrifuge
• Horizontal conveyors
• Vertical and inclined conveyors
• Hoisting gear
