In applications where the motor is used as a brake, energy is generated in the motor and send back into the frequency converter. If the energy can not be

transported back to the motor it will increase the voltage in the converter DC-line. In applications with frequent braking and/or high inertia loads this increase

may lead to an over voltage trip in the converter and finally a shut down. Brake resistors are used to dissipate the excess energy resulting from the regenerative

braking. The resistor is selected in respect to its ohmic value, its power dissipation rate and its physical size. GE offers a wide variety of different resistors that are

specially designed to our frequency converters. See the section Control with brake function for the dimensioning of brake resistors.
