Optional Braking Chopper; Fig. 14. Acs1000A With Braking Chopper (1); Fig. 15. Principle Diagram - ABB ACS1000 User Manual

3.4.9. Optional Braking Chopper

The optional braking chopper uses resistor braking to provide motor braking and shorter
deceleration times, eg, for:
– Reduction of coasting down time, eg, for conveyor belts, fans, and pumps
– Emergency stops
The braking chopper cabinet connects to the right side of the drive as well as to the braking
resistors, which are external to the ACS1000A and not part of the product scope.
