ACS880-607 brake unit

Brake choppers and brake units are used for resistor braking. They handle the energy generated by decelerating motors for example in emergency stopping.

Brake choppers and brake units

Brake unit is used for resistor braking. It handles the energy generated by decelerating motors for example in emergency stopping. Whenever the voltage in the common DC bus exceeds a certain limit, a braking chopper connects the bus to a braking resistor. Offering includes 1-phase brake unit and 3-phase dynamic brake unit (DBU) which utilizes R8i modules.

 

There is two different braking concepts. The main difference between the concepts is controllability:

  1. One-phase brake chopper, on-off controlled (no modulation), brake current depends only on the resistance of the brake resistor. Compact and cost efficient. Used mostly in single drives.
  2. Three-phase brake unit with modulating control. Brake current/power is controlled. Used mostly in multidrives.
