DC Braking Settings
The DC braking feature can provide
additional stopping torque when
compared to a normal deceleration to a
stop. DC braking is particularly useful
at low speeds when normal decelera-
tion torque is minimal. When you
enable DC braking, the inverter injects
a DC voltage into the motor windings
during deceleration below a frequency you can specify (A_52). The braking power
(A_54) and duration (A_55) can both be set. You can optionally specify a wait time
before DC braking (A_53), during which the motor will free run (coast).
CAUTION: Be careful to avoid specifying a braking time that is long enough to cause
motor overheating. If you use DC braking, we recommend using a motor with a built-in
thermistor, and wiring it to the inverter's thermistor input (see
