When the voltage reaches a specific threshold, the brake chopper switches the braking resistor into the circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resistor converts the regenerated electrical energy into heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Without a Braking Path<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Without a suitable braking path, the DC-bus voltage may continue to rise until the VFD trips on an overvoltage fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the application allows a longer stopping time, increasing the deceleration time can reduce the required braking power and may prevent the overvoltage trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">With Dynamic Braking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The braking transistor connects the braking resistor to the DC bus for controlled intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resistor absorbs the regenerated energy as heat, allowing the motor to stop in a shorter and more controlled time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> A braking resistor cannot hold a stopped load. It does not replace a mechanical holding brake, emergency brake, or any safety-rated stopping device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Is a Braking Resistor Required?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A braking resistor may be required when the application generates significant energy during deceleration or when a short stopping time is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Applications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High-inertia loads requiring short deceleration times<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Centrifuges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Large fans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flywheels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heavy rotating machinery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conveyors with frequent start-stop cycles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unwinders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Test benches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Machines where the load can overrun the motor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hoists and vertical axes during controlled lowering, when permitted by the complete safety design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Applications that repeatedly trip on DC-bus overvoltage during deceleration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Braking Resistor May Not Be Required When<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The load can safely coast to a stop<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A longer deceleration time is acceptable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mechanical losses naturally absorb most of the regenerated energy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stopping events are rare and remain within the VFD\u2019s built-in braking capability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A regenerative front end or regenerative drive returns energy to the electrical supply<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A common DC-bus system shares braking energy with other drives operating in motoring mode<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First Engineering Question<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before adding braking hardware, determine whether the required stopping performance can be safely achieved by increasing the VFD deceleration time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a longer stopping time is acceptable, adjusting the VFD parameters may be the simplest solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Braking Duty Considerations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Occasional Stopping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For occasional braking events, the resistor\u2019s pulse-energy rating may be more important than its continuous wattage rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequent Braking Cycles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For applications with frequent start-stop cycles, average thermal power, ventilation, and cooling become critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Continuous Regeneration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For applications with continuous or high-energy regeneration, a braking resistor may be inefficient or unsuitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A regenerative drive, regenerative front end, or common DC-bus solution should be evaluated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installation, Protection, and Safety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Braking resistors can reach very high temperatures and are connected to potentially lethal DC-bus voltages. Correct installation and protection are therefore essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heat and Fire Risk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mount the braking resistor on a non-combustible surface<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintain the clearances specified by the manufacturer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the resistor away from cables, plastic components, and temperature-sensitive equipment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide sufficient ventilation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not install the resistor inside an enclosure without completing a thermal calculation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a thermal switch when specified by the manufacturer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clearly label the resistor as a hot surface<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hazardous Voltage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The braking resistor circuit is connected to the VFD DC bus and can carry lethal voltage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before working on the circuit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Isolate the electrical supply<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the required lockout and tagout procedures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait for the discharge time specified by the VFD manufacturer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Verify that the voltage has reached a safe level before touching any terminals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use cables, insulation, glands, terminals, and enclosures with the correct voltage and temperature ratings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wiring Practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep the braking resistor cables as short as permitted by the manufacturer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Route braking resistor cables away from low-level control and communication cables<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the recommended cable type and conductor size<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the manufacturer\u2019s terminal and torque requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not connect the braking resistor directly to ordinary VFD output terminals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The braking resistor must only be connected to the terminals specifically designated by the manufacturer for braking-resistor or braking-unit connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protection and Interlocks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use the specified external braking unit when the VFD does not include an internal braking chopper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect the resistor\u2019s thermal protection to stop the drive safely if the resistor overheats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm the operation of braking-unit fault contacts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Define the required system response for every braking fault<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never bypass protective trips or thermal protection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety Limitation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dynamic braking is an operating function and is not a safety-rated stopping method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The machine risk assessment and applicable safety requirements determine whether mechanical holding brakes, emergency brakes, or other safety-rated stopping systems are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Engineering Checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before purchasing, installing, or commissioning a braking resistor, confirm the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A shorter stopping time is genuinely

resistance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The permitted braking current has been checked<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The required braking duty cycle has been calculated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The resistor pulse-energy rating is sufficient<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The resistor average thermal power rating is sufficient<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ambient-temperature derating has been applied<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Altitude derating has been applied

has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selection Guidance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When a Longer Deceleration Time Is Acceptable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Increase the VFD deceleration time and test the machine under normal and worst-case operating conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When a Short Stop Is Required with Intermittent Regeneration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a manufacturer-approved braking resistor and braking-chopper solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Regeneration Is Continuous or High-Energy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Evaluate a regenerative drive, regenerative front end, or common DC-bus system instead of relying only on a braking resistor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A reliable braking resistor application starts with confirming the actual stopping requirement and reviewing the limits specified by the VFD manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The braking duty, minimum resistance, pulse-energy capacity, thermal rating, ventilation, wiring, protection, and environmental conditions must all be verified before implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Selecting a braking resistor based only on the motor power in kilowatts can lead to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
