Table 3.3: Braking at high overload torque level
1) 355 kW at 90% torque. At 100% torque the braking duty cycle is 13%. At mains rating 441-500 V 100% torque the braking duty cycle is 17%
400 kW at 80% torque. At 100% torque the braking duty cycle is 8%
2) Based on 300 second cycle:
For 355 kW the torque is 145%
For 400 kW the torque is 130%
3) 500 kW at 80% torque
560 kW at 71% torque
4) Based on 300 second cycle:
For 500 kW the torque is 128%
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.
The max. permissible load on the brake resistor is stated as a peak power at a given intermittent duty cycle and can be calculated as:
The brake resistance is calculated as shown:
As can be seen, the brake resistance depends on the intermediate circuit voltage (U
The FC 301 and FC 302 brake function is settled in 4 areas of mains:
Size
FC 301 / 302 3 x 200-240 V
FC 301 3 x 380-480 V
FC 302 3 x 380-500 V*
FC 302 3 x 525-600 V
FC 302 3 x 525-690 V
* Power size dependent
NB!
Check that the brake resistor can cope with a voltage of 410 V, 820 V, 850 V, 975 V or 1130 V - unless Danfoss brake resistors are
used.
