3.20 B-## Brakes

Parameter group related to the brake features in the drive.
3.20.1 B-0# DC Brake
3 3
Parameters to configure the DC brake and DC hold
functions.
B-00 DC Hold Current
Range:
50 % [0 -
*
160 %]
NOTE
The maximum value depends on the rated motor current.
Avoid 100 % current for too long. It may damage the
motor.
Low values of DC hold will produce larger than expected
currents with larger motor power sizes. This error will
increase as the motor power increases.
B-01 DC Brake Current
Range:
50 [0 -
% 1000 %]
*
NOTE
The maximum value depends on the rated motor current.
Avoid 100 % current for too long. It may damage the
motor.
B-02 DC Braking Time
Range:
10 s [0 - 60 s] Set the duration of the DC braking current set

AF-650 GP Programming Guide
Function:
Enter a value for holding current as a
percentage of the rated motor current I
in P-03 Motor Current. 100% DC holding current
corresponds to I .
M,N
This parameter holds the motor function
(holding torque) or pre-heats the motor.
This parameter is active if DC hold is selected in
F-25 Start Function [0] or H-80 Function at Stop
[1].
Function:
Enter a value for current as a percentage of the
rated motor current I , see P-03 Motor Current.
M,N
100% DC braking current corresponds to I
DC brake current is applied on a stop
command, when the speed is lower than the
limit set in B-03 DC Brake Cut In Speed [RPM];
when the DC Brake Inverse function is active; or
via the serial communication port. The braking
current is active during the time period set in
B-02 DC Braking Time.
Function:
in B-01 DC Brake Current, once activated.

DET-618C
Function:
Set the DC brake cut-in speed for
activation of the DC braking current
set in B-01 DC Brake Current, upon a
stop command.
Function:
activation of the DC braking current set
in B-01 DC Brake Current, upon a stop
command.

Function:
current, P-03 Motor Current. Will be used
when enabled in F-20 PM Start Mode.
Function:
B-06 Parking Current, once activated.
Function:
No brake resistor is installed.
A brake resistor is incorporated in the system,
for dissipation of surplus brake energy as heat.
Connecting a brake resistor allows a higher DC
link voltage during braking (generating
operation). The Resistor brake function is only
active in frequency converters with an integral
dynamic brake.
Is selected to improve braking without using a
brake resistor. This parameter controls an
overmagnetization of the motor when running
with a generatoric load. This function can
improve the OVC-function. Increasing the
electrical losses in the motor allows the OVC
function to increase the braking torque without
exceeding the over voltage limit. Please note
