mot,max
impact on the selection of the drive module(s) connected to the AC supply if many axes
are accelerated simultaneously.
Average regenerative power P
P
gen,ave
power must be dissipated in the braking resistor(s) or fed back to the AC supply.
P

gen,max
on the number of active braking choppers needed.
The power values defined above are shown in the following diagram.
Common DC configurations
mot,ave
is the average of the motoring DC link power over the whole cycle. This power
mot,max
is the positive peak power in the power profile. This value can have a major
gen,ave
is the average of the regenerating DC link power over the whole cycle. This
should be determined over the worst-case 30 seconds time window if the
gen,max
is the negative peak power in the power profile. This value has a major impact
