Brake energy management
When braking electrical motors, the kinetic energy of the drive train is fed back regeneratively to the DC bus. This energy causes a DC-bus voltage boost. If the energy fed back is too high, the inverter reports an error.
Several different strategies can serve to avoid DC-bus overvoltage:
–
Stopping the deceleration ramp function generator when the active voltage threshold for the brake operation is exceeded
–
Use of the "Inverter motor brake" function
–
Combination of the above named options
Details
The voltage threshold for braking operation results on the basis of the rated mains voltage set:

The voltage threshold for braking operation can be reduced by 0 ... 100 V. The reduction required must be set in 0x2541:003 (P706.03). However, the reduction must be made to such an extent that the reduced voltage threshold is still above the normal stationary DC-bus voltage.The active voltage threshold for the braking operation is displayed in 0x2541:002 (P706.02).
If the DC-bus voltage exceeds the voltage threshold for braking operation, the braking method selected in 0x2541:001 (P706.01) is
applied.
–
Stopping the deceleration ramp function generator enables smoother deceleration with
lower torque oscillation.
–
The "Inverter motor brake" function allows for quick
braking. For process-related reasons, torque oscillations
may occur.

Display of the active voltage threshold for the braking operation.
–
The voltage threshold shown depends on the mains voltage selected in 0x2540:001 (P208.01) and the voltage value set in 0x2541:003 (P706.03).
–
The voltage threshold must be higher than the stationary DC voltage in the DC bus.

–
If the DC-bus voltage does not fall below the voltage threshold for braking operation shown in 0x2541:002 (P706.02) within this time, the motor is decelerated further.
–
The time is only reset if the voltage threshold shown in 0x2541:002 (P706.02) is not reached.
