Dynamic Braking (DB) Hardware
Whenever a motor is abruptly stopped or forced to slow down quicker than if
allowed to coast to a stop, the motor becomes a generator. This energy
appears on the DC Bus and must be dissipated using dynamic braking
hardware. Dynamic braking (DB) hardware is a resistive load. Table A-1
provides a matrix of DB turn ON and turn OFF voltages.

Braking torque and time should not exceed the available drive braking torque
and time rating. The drive braking torque is limited to the available peak
current and peak current time rating of the control. If the peak current or peak
current time limit is exceeded during braking, the control may trip on an over
voltage or a regen power fault.
Selection Procedure
1.
Calculate the watts to be dissipated using the following formulas for the
appropriate load type.
2.
Identify the control model number and determine which braking
hardware is required based on the model number suffix: ER.
3.
Select appropriate braking hardware from Baldor 501 Catalog or Table
A-2.
