Stop<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Coast Stop?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During a Coast Stop, the VFD disables its output to the motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The motor and load then continue

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ramp Stop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stopping principle:<\/strong><br>The VFD gradually reduces output frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stopping-time

control:<\/strong><br>Limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Regenerative energy returned to the VFD:<\/strong><br>Normally low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Additional equipment:<\/strong><br>Usually not

Examples<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fans and Blowers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans and blowers often have high inertia and long natural stopping times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Possible stopping methods include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Coast Stop when a slow stop is acceptable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ramp Stop with a long Deceleration Time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dynamic Braking when a faster stop is required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Rapid stopping may require significant braking energy and should be reviewed carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pumps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ramp Stop is often used with pumps to reduce sudden hydraulic changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An excessively short stopping time may cause:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Water hammer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pressure surges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pipe stress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Valve stress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unstable process pressure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deceleration Time should be selected according to the hydraulic system, not only the motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conveyors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Conveyors commonly require:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Controlled Ramp Stop<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeatable stopping time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product stability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A Braking Resistor for rapid stopping or high load<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The design should consider belt slip, product movement, and the possibility that the load may drive the motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Centrifuges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Centrifuges normally have very high inertia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They may require:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Large Braking Resistor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>External Braking Unit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regenerative system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accurate braking-energy calculations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Increasing the Deceleration Time may be the simplest solution when a long stopping time is acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hoists and Lifting Applications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lifting systems require a specialised design that may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vector Control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encoder feedback<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mechanical brake<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Braking Resistor or Regenerative Unit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brake-control sequence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Load-holding assessment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Safety-rated functions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emergency stopping system<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The VFD must not be used as the only device holding a suspended load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Mistakes<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reducing Deceleration Time Without Reviewing the Load<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This may cause repeated overvoltage faults or braking-system damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Repeatedly Resetting an Overvoltage Fault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Resetting the fault does not remove the regenerative-energy problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following should be reviewed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Deceleration Time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Load inertia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Braking Resistor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Braking Chopper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incoming voltage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regenerative operating conditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selecting the Resistor by Wattage Only<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Resistance, peak power, average power, and Duty Cycle must all be checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using a Resistance Below the Permitted Limit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This may damage the Braking Chopper or VFD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installing the Resistor in an Unventilated Panel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The resistor may overheat the VFD and nearby control components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excessive DC Injection Braking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Long or repeated DC Injection can overheat the motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treating Coast Stop as a Safe Stop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The motor and load may continue rotating for a long time after the VFD output has been disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connecting the Braking Resistor to U, V, and W<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an incorrect and dangerous connection that may destroy the VFD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engineering Checklist<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Before selecting the stopping or braking method, confirm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Load type<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Motor power<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operating speed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Load inertia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Required stopping time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Number of stops per hour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether the load can drive the motor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether overvoltage occurs during deceleration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VFD DC-bus voltage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VFD braking capability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Availability of an internal Braking Chopper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minimum permitted resistance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Braking Duty Cycle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peak and average Braking Resistor power<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resistor installation location<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ventilation requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ambient temperature<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mechanical brake requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Potential value of energy recovery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether stopping is a process function or a safety function<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety Considerations<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>VFD stopping functions do not automatically provide electrical isolation or a safety-rated stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before installation or maintenance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Isolate all incoming power sources<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apply lockout and tagout procedures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wait for the specified DC-bus discharge time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Verify that the DC-bus voltage is at a safe level<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirm that the load cannot move unexpectedly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use qualified personnel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the VFD and braking-equipment manufacturer instructions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A Braking Resistor may remain dangerously hot after operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical Conclusion<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The motor stopping method is as important as the starting and speed-control method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ramp Stop provides controlled deceleration, but it may raise the VFD DC-bus voltage when a high-inertia load is stopped too quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coast Stop allows the load to stop naturally, but it does not provide accurate stopping-time control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DC Injection Braking can improve low-speed stopping, but the braking energy is converted into heat inside the motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dynamic Braking uses a Braking Resistor to dissipate regenerative energy and allows faster, more controlled stopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regenerative Braking returns the generated energy to the power supply and is suitable for frequent or continuous regenerative operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The correct solution depends on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Load inertia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stored mechanical energy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Required stopping time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Braking frequency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VFD capability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mechanical brake requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thermal conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Safety requirements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The VFD and
