Allen-Bradley 1336 WA018, WB009, WC009, WA070, WB035, WC035, WA115, WB110, WC085 Chopper Module Installation Instructions

Below you will find brief product information for 1336 WA018, 1336 WB009, 1336 WC009, 1336 WA070, 1336 WB035, 1336 WC035, 1336 WA115, 1336 WB110, 1336 WC085. These modules work in conjunction with customer-supplied braking resistors to increase the braking torque capability of Allen Bradley's 1336, 1336VT, 1336PLUS, 1336PLUSII, 1336FORCE or 1336IMPACT drives by 10% to 100%. The Chopper Module uses a Transistor Chopper on the DC Bus of the AC PWM drive that feeds a power resistor to transform regenerative electrical energy into thermal energy. The document provides specific instructions on how to select, configure, and install dynamic braking for your application. You can find information regarding module selection, dynamic brake resistor selection, wiring diagrams, and setup instructions.

Frequently asked questions

What is dynamic braking?

Dynamic braking is a method of slowing down a motor by converting regenerative energy into heat. It is achieved by using a transistor chopper to redirect the energy to a power resistor, where it is dissipated as heat.

How do I select the correct chopper module for my application?

You need to calculate the peak regenerative power of your drive and the desired deceleration time. Based on these values, you can select a chopper module with a current rating greater than or equal to the minimum current flow required for your application. The document provides detailed instructions on how to perform these calculations and select the appropriate module.

What kind of resistors can I use with the chopper module?

The document recommends using resistor assemblies manufactured by IPC Power Resistors International Incorporated and Powerohm Resistors Incorporated. These resistors have been tested with Allen-Bradley chopper modules and are compatible.
