Brake Resistor For Vfd

The resistor dissipates regenerated power to keep the bus voltage from exceeding the rated limit of the drive. Braking resistor is one types of rxhg resistors its been used in controlling motor brake in variable frequency drives mechanism to convert the regenerated electric energy into thermal energy during braking process of the electric motors.

Keb high performance resistors are offered in a variety of sizes and configurations along with intrinsically safe types.

Brake resistor for vfd. Braking resistors are used to dissipate excess energy in overhauling vfd applications. Braking resistors increase the braking torque capability of a variable frequency drive producing faster and more controlled braking. When and why to use dynamic braking resistor in vfd dynamic breaking resistor is used where motor connected to vfd which is generating regenerative energy due to high inertia or in case where deceleration time is so less that vfd cannot control motor to stop.

Brake chopper circuits allow regenerated energy in vfd applications to be dissipated. Essentially the dynamic braking resistor is a dumping ground for the energy contained in the rotating system allowing it to be bled off as electrical energy. Condition a braking resistor is required.

As the dc bus level rises a large brake transistor allows current to be shunted across a brake resistor where the regen energy is dissipated as heat. The third is to apply an electrical brake via a regenerative variable frequency drive vfd andor dynamic braking resistor.
