Brake Chopper
4.5 Brake Chopper and Brake Resistor
4.5.1 Braking Ratio
Brake resistors with different power ratings are available to dissipate braking en-
ergy when the frequency converter is in generator mode. The following table
lists the details of brake chopper and brake resistor corresponding to each
brake power in the condition that a certain braking ratio is given.
ED Braking ratio
Tb Braking time

4.5.2 Recommended Brake Chopper and Brake Resistor
When braking voltage is 750 V, ED = 10 % and braking torque is 100%, the rec-
ommended brake chopper and brake resistor are listed as below.
