Description
Enables brake chopper control.
Note: Before enabling brake chopper control, ensure that
• a brake resistor is connected
• overvoltage control is switched off (parameter
Overvoltage control)
• the supply voltage range (parameter
has been selected correctly.
Brake chopper control disabled.
Brake chopper control enabled with resistor overload
protection.
Brake chopper control enabled without resistor overload
protection. This setting can be used, for example, if the
resistor is equipped with a thermal circuit breaker that is wired
to stop the drive if the resistor overheats.
Selects the source for quick brake chopper on/off control.
0 = Brake chopper IGBT pulses are cut off
1 = Normal brake chopper IGBT modulation.
This parameter can be used to program the chopper control
to function only when the supply is missing from a drive with a
regenerative supply unit.

Defines the thermal time constant of the brake resistor for
overload protection.
Brake resistor thermal time constant.
Defines the maximum continuous braking power of the
resistor (in kW) which will raise the resistor temperature to the
maximum allowed value. The value is used in the overload
protection.
Maximum continuous braking power.
Defines the resistance value of the brake resistor. The value
is used for brake chopper protection.
