RIVE PTIONS In 1975, Bonitron began working with AC inverter drive specialists at synthetic fiber plants to develop speed control systems that could be interfaced with their plant process computers. Ever since, Bonitron has developed AC drive options that solve application issues associated with modern AC variable frequency drives and aid in reducing drive faults.

User’s Manual RODUCT ESCRIPTION Bonitron M3452 heavy duty braking transistors are used with AC drives to allow full power braking and eliminate overvoltage faults. This permits controlled braking and dramatically shortens motor stopping time. The M3452 works with variable frequency drives (with DC bus connections) to monitor the DC bus.

DANGER! Proper installation of the model M3452 dynamic brake module should be done following the steps outlined below. Be sure to refer to all other relevant system documentation as these steps are performed. Please direct all installation inquiries that may arise during the installation and start-up of this product to the equipment supplier or system integrator.
If the Bonitron braking transistor is connected to the terminals marked "X" and "-" in Figure 3-10, switching resonances caused by the DC link choke will destroy the braking transistor. If the Bonitron braking transistor is connected between X and Y, the drive will not operate.
User’s Manual If the braking transistor is connected to the terminals marked "A" and "B" in Figure 3-10, switching resonances caused by the lack of filter capacitance during precharge will destroy the braking transistor. 3.4.1.2. ESISTOR ONNECTION The polarity of the resistor connections is not important; however, it is critical that the resistor be connected to the proper terminals.
4.1. UNCTIONAL ESCRIPTION The M3452 module controls the bus voltage of a variable frequency drive by transferring energy to a resistor. When the drive’s DC bus voltage exceeds a fixed setpoint, the dynamic braking transistor module’s control electronics turns on an IGBT transistor connecting a resistive load across the DC bus.

Do not attempt to use these signals for any purpose other than interconnecting Bonitron M3452 with R7, R7E, or R8 units! Damage may occur to the M3452 as well as to the connected equipment! If monitoring of these signals is desired, see Bonitron model M3452ON.
User’s Manual (200 A 1600 A 4.2.3. ASTER LAVE ONTROL MP TO Several braking modules can be connected in parallel for current ratings higher than possible with a single module. This method requires that one module be in control of all other modules. This module is considered the Master and the others are slaved to it.
M3452 vR8 EIP/PDP The Master/Slave Status bit (4.2.4.3.1.1) indicates the operation mode of a module. 4.2.3.2.1. TATIC ASTER Static Master systems have a single module that will always function as the master. For systems that have a static Master module, set the Master bit in the network interface (4.2.4.2.1.4).

M3452 vR8 EIP/PDP 4.2.5. AULT ODES Faults are indicated in two ways. The green Control Power LED on the front of the module will flash, and a fault bit will be set in the Fault Word on the network. When there is any unrecoverable fault, the Status output will open.
The network configuration depends on the type of network purchased. The M3452-R8 uses the Anybus-S embedded interface controller from HMS networks. Support files for the different networks can be found at www.bonitron.com. Extensive information on setup and operation can be found at www.anybus.com.

Refer to the Troubleshooting Section of this manual for more information. For further assistance, contact Bonitron technical support. Once the pre-checks are complete, the drive system can be enabled. Once the drive system is operational, run the motors with light deceleration, and decrease the braking time until the red Active Braking indicator lights.

Each module (except the 1600 Amp M14 chassis) comes equipped with its own internal DC bus fuse. If the fuse happens to fail, it is not recommended to replace the fuse and reapply power. Further damages could result. Consult Bonitron if this situation arises.
M3452 vR8 EIP/PDP DC B 6.5. ENGTH IMITS The distance that the chopper is mounted from the main DC bus filter capacitors within the drive is limited by the amount of inductance in the connection. During switching, the inductance in the DC bus between the chopper and capacitors stores energy that must be absorbed by the snubbing circuit in the chopper.
DC bus current. The braking current in the DC bus will be higher than the AC current absorbed from the load. Because Bonitron braking transistor modules are rated for peak current, determine the peak braking power required. 7.1.1.1.

Some high power systems also include redundant or back up sections as well. Once power is applied, all Bonitron modules are designed to be sourced from DC buses that have all the bus capacitors present.
ONITRON EGENERATION ODULES The Bonitron line regens return regenerative energy back onto the AC line instead of dissipating the energy as heat in a resistor, and are ideal for applications with high duty cycles, frequent deceleration, or where heat from a resistor may be an issue.
