When used in situations where safety is critical, e.g. when controlling the electromagnetic brake function of a hoist application, these control signals must not be relied on exclusively. Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after the equipment has been disconnected from mains. MG.33.BA.02 - VLT ® is a registered Danfoss trademark...

Frequency converters must be CE labelled in accordance with the low-voltage directive of January 1, 1997. The directive applies to all electrical equipment and appliances used in the 50 - 1000 V AC and the 75 - 1500 V DC voltage ranges. Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive and issues a declaration of conformity upon request.

Note: The Speed Control PID will work under the default parameter setting, but tuning the parameters is highly recommended to optimize the motor control performance. The two Flux motor control principles are specially dependant on proper tuning to yield their full potential. MG.33.BA.02 - VLT ® is a registered Danfoss trademark...

In order to reduce the interference level from the entire system (unit + installation), make motor and brake cables as short as possible. Avoid placing cables with a sensitive signal level alongside motor and brake cables. Radio interference higher than 50 MHz (airborne) is especially generated by the control electronics.

The immunity requirements for frequency converters depend on the environment where they are installed. The requirements for the industrial environment are higher than the requirements for the home and office environment. All Danfoss frequency converters comply with the requirements for the industrial environment and consequently comply also with the lower requirements for home and office environment with a large safety margin.
Also make sure that other voltage inputs have been disconnected, such as load sharing (linkage of DC intermediate circuit), as well as the motor connection for kinetic back-up. Safety Precautions Using VLT AutomationDrive FC 300: wait at least the amount of time indicated in the section. Shorter time is allowed only if indicated on the nameplate for the specific unit.
The intermittent duty cycle for the resistor is calculated as follows: Duty cycle = t T = cycle time in seconds is the braking time in seconds (of the cycle time) MG.33.BA.02 - VLT ® is a registered Danfoss trademark...
Page 42
For 560 kW the torque is 114% Danfoss offers brake resistors with duty cycle of 5%, 10% and 40%. If a 10% duty cycle is applied, the brake resistors are able to absorb brake power for 10% of the cycle time. The remaining 90% of the cycle time will be used on dissipating excess heat.
Page 43
2) For frequency converters 11 - 75 kW shaft output The resistor brake circuit resistance selected should not be higher than that recommended by Danfoss. If a brake resistor with a higher ohmic value is selected, the 160% braking torque may not be achieved because there is a risk that the frequency converter cuts out for safety reasons.
• The brake is engaged when the output frequency is less than the frequency set in par. 2-21 or 2-22 and only if the frequency converter carries out a stop command. MG.33.BA.02 - VLT ® is a registered Danfoss trademark...
In order to react as quickly as possible on the load-step that follows upon brake release, the speed-PID control can be boosted by increasing the proportional gain. Illustration 3.4: Brake release sequence for hoist mechanical brake control MG.33.BA.02 - VLT ® is a registered Danfoss trademark...
