How Dynamic Braking Works

When an induction motor’s rotor is turning slower than the synchronous speed set by the drive’s output power, the motor is transforming electrical energy obtained from the drive into mechanical energy available at the drive shaft of the motor. This process is referred to as

motoring. When the rotor is turning faster than the synchronous speed set by the drive’s output power, the motor is transforming mechanical energy available at the drive shaft of the motor into electrical energy that can be transferred back to the drive. This process is referred to as

regeneration.

Most AC PWM drives convert AC power from the fixed frequency utility grid into DC power by means of a diode rectifier bridge or controlled

SCR bridge before it is inverted into variable frequency AC power.

Diode and SCR bridges are cost effective, but can only handle power in the motoring direction. Therefore, if the motor is regenerating, the bridge cannot conduct the necessary negative DC current, the DC bus voltage will increase and cause an overvoltage fault at the drive. More complex bridge configurations use SCRs or transistors that can transform DC regenerative electrical power into fixed frequency utility electrical energy. This process is known as line regeneration.

A more cost effective solution can be provided by allowing the drive to feed the regenerated electrical power to a resistor which transforms it into thermal energy. This process is referred to as dynamic braking.

Dynamic Brake Components

A Dynamic Brake consists of a Chopper (the chopper transistor and related control components are built into PowerFlex drives) and a

Dynamic Brake Resistor.

Figure 1.1

shows a simplified Dynamic Braking schematic.

Chopper

The Chopper is the Dynamic Braking circuitry that senses rising DC bus voltage and shunts the excess energy to the Dynamic Brake Resistor. A

Chopper contains three significant power components:

The Chopper Transistor is an Isolated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT).

The Chopper Transistor is either ON or OFF, connecting the Dynamic

Brake Resistor to the DC bus and dissipating power, or isolating the resistor from the DC bus. The most important rating is the collector current rating of the Chopper Transistor that helps to determine the minimum resistance value used for the Dynamic Brake Resistor.

1-3

Chopper Transistor Voltage Control regulates the voltage of the DC bus during regeneration. The average values of DC bus voltages are:

375V DC (for 240V AC input)

750V DC (for 480V AC input)

Voltage dividers reduce the DC bus voltage to a value that is usable in signal circuit isolation and control. The DC bus feedback voltage from the voltage dividers is compared to a reference voltage to actuate the

Chopper Transistor.

The Freewheel Diode (FWD), in parallel with the Dynamic Brake

Resistor, allows any magnetic energy stored in the parasitic inductance of that circuit to be safely dissipated during turn off of the Chopper

Transistor.

Resistor

The Resistor dissipates the regenerated energy in the form of heat. The

PowerFlex Family of Drives can use either the internal dynamic brake resistor option or an externally mounted dynamic brake resistor wired to the drive.

The internal resistor kit for the drive may be used for the application if the required energy, deceleration time, and duty, all are small enough to be within the capabilities of the resistor.

The internal resistor is protected by drive software so that its duty cycle capability is not exceeded. The duty cycle is attenuated by the magnitude of the ‘DB Suppress’ signal coming from the Thermal Model algorithm.

The Thermal Model algorithm uses resistor thermal property constants to compute DB resistor temperature from applied resistor power that is computed from knowing the DB transistor duty cycle (DutyDB ). When the Thermal Model computes that the DB resistor temperature is nearing the maximum rise allowed, the ‘DB Suppress’ signal begins to rise reaching full value when maximum temperature rise is reached..

When the internal resistor cannot provide the required braking capability an external resistor may be supplied by the user that has more capability

A DB Resistance Auto-Detect algorithm is used. This algorithm is executed as part of the ‘power-up’ diagnostics and is only re-enabled until the drive is fully powered down again. This algorithm checks that the resistance measured across the DB terminals of the power board is within limits that are stored in the power board EEPROM.

1-4

The algorithm runs as follows:

Opens the precharge relay if not already open.

Pulses the DB transistor on in a series of increasing width pulses.

Measures the resulting capacitor bank voltage drop during each pulse.

Verifies the drop is within allowed limits (stored in the power board

EEPROM).

If the resistance measured is out of limits and the DB regulator is enabled then the ‘DB Resistance Out of Range’ fault is set. If the DB

Regulator is not enabled with this out of limits condition, no fault is set.

But, if some time after power-up the [Bus Reg Mode] parameter is set to enable the DB Regulator, the fault is set at that time.

How to Determine Dynamic Brake Requirements

When a drive is consistently operating in the regenerative mode of operation, serious consideration should be given to equipment that will transform the electrical energy back to the fixed frequency utility grid.

As a general rule, Dynamic Braking can be used when the need to dissipate regenerative energy is on an occasional or periodic basis. In general, the motor power rating, speed, torque, and details regarding the regenerative mode of operation will be needed in order to estimate what

Dynamic Brake Resistor value is needed.

The Peak Regenerative Power of the drive must be calculated in order to determine the maximum resistance value of the Dynamic Brake

Resistor. Once the maximum resistance value of the Dynamic Brake

Resistor current rating is known, the required rating and number of

Dynamic Brake Resistors can be determined. If a Dynamic Brake

Resistance value greater than the minimum imposed by the choice of the peak regenerative power is made and applied, the drive can trip off due to transient DC bus overvoltage problems. Once the approximate resistance value of the Dynamic Brake Resistor is determined, the necessary power rating of the Dynamic Brake Resistor can be calculated.

The power rating of the Dynamic Brake Resistor is estimated by applying what is known about the drive’s motoring and regenerating modes of operation. The Average Power Dissipation must be estimated and the power rating of the Dynamic Brake Resistor chosen to be greater than that average. If the Dynamic Brake Resistor has a large thermodynamic heat capacity, then the resistor element will be able to absorb a large amount of energy without the temperature of the resistor element exceeding the operational temperature rating. Thermal time constants in the order of 50 seconds and higher satisfy the criteria of large heat capacities for these applications. If a resistor has a small heat capacity (defined as thermal time constants less than 5 seconds) the temperature of the resistor element could exceed its maximum.

Peak Regenerative Power can be calculated as:

Horsepower (English units)

Watts (The International System of Units, SI)

Per Unit System (pu) which is relative to a value

The final number must be in watts of power to estimate the resistance value of the Dynamic Brake Resistor. The following calculations are demonstrated in SI units.

AL and PL are plotted and connected with a dotted line. This is the Motor

Power Curve. If any portion of this curve lies to the right of the constant temperature power curve of the Dynamic Brake Resistor, the resistor element temperature will exceed the operating temperature limit. The drive will protect the resistor and shut down the Chopper transistor. The drive will then likely trip on an overvoltage fault.

How to Select an External Dynamic Brake Resistor

In order to select the appropriate External Dynamic Brake Resistor for your application, the following data must be calculated.

Peak Regenerative Power

(Expressed in watts of power.)

This value is used to determine the maximum resistance value of the

Dynamic Brake Resistor. If this value is greater than the maximum imposed by the peak regenerative power of the drive, the drive can trip off due to transient DC bus overvoltage problems.

Power Rating of the Dynamic Brake Resistor

The average power dissipation of the regenerative mode must be estimated and the power rating of the Dynamic Brake Resistor chosen to be greater than the average regenerative power dissipation of the drive.

The choice of the Dynamic Brake resistance value should be less than the value calculated in this step. If the value is greater, the drive can trip on DC bus overvoltage. Do not reduce P b

by any ratio because of estimated losses in the motor and inverter. This has been accounted for by an offsetting increase in the manufacturing tolerance of the resistance value and the increase in resistance value due to the temperature coefficient of resistor element.

4-3

Select Resistor

Select a resistor bank from

Table 4.B

or

4.C

or your resistor supplier that has:

• a resistance value that is less than the value calculated (R db1 in ohms)

• a resistance value that is greater than the minimum resistance listed in

Table 4.A

• a power value that is greater than the value calculated in

Step 4

(P av

in watts)

!

ATTENTION: The internal dynamic brake IGBT will be damaged if the resistance value of the resistor bank is less than the minimum resistance value of the drive. Use

Table 4.A

to verify that the resistance value of the selected resistor bank is greater than the minimum resistance of the drive.
