Dynamic Braking; Dynamic Braking [28] - WEG CFW-11 Programming Manual

14 DYNAMIC BRAKING

The braking torque that can be obtained through the application of frequency inverters without dynamic braking
resistors varies from 10 % to 35 % of the motor rated torque.
In order to obtain higher braking torques, resistors for dynamic braking are used. In this case the regenerated
energy is dissipated on the resistor mounted externally to the inverter.
This type of braking is used in the cases when short deceleration times are wished or when high inertia loads are driven.
For the vector control mode there is the possibility of the use of the "Optimal Braking", eliminating in many
cases the need of the dynamic braking.

14.1 DYNAMIC BRAKING [28]

NOTE!
This function is not available in inverters with frames F, G and H.
The Dynamic Braking function can only be used if a braking resistor has been connected to the CFW-11, and
if the parameters related to it have been adjusted properly.
See next the description of the parameters in order to know how to program each one.

Description:
The parameter P0153 defines the voltage level for the braking IGBT actuation, and it must be compatible with the
power supply voltage.
If P0153 is adjusted at a level very close to the overvoltage (F022) actuation level, the fault may occur before the
Braking resistor is able to dissipate the regenerated energy.
