ESCRIPTION
Bonitron M3452 heavy duty braking transistors are used with AC drives to allow full power
braking and eliminate overvoltage faults. This permits controlled braking and dramatically
shortens motor stopping time.
The M3452 works with variable frequency drives (with DC bus connections) to monitor the
DC bus. If overvoltage occurs, the M3452 shunts the excess energy through an external
braking resistor to prevent overvoltage faults.
The need for regenerated voltage control occurs in applications where the frequency of
an AC motor at times exceeds that of its variable frequency drive. In this case, the motor
acts as a generator. The energy generated by the motor must be dissipated as heat or
returned to the power line. If this energy is not controlled, the motor may run with high
peak voltages, the energy may be dissipated as heat in the motor, or the drive may trip on
an over-voltage condition.
The R7 option allows for Master/Slave operation to be changed on the fly in multiple
module systems to allow for fault redundancy in the control sections for critical
applications.
The R7E option includes all the functions of the R7 option, while adding extended status
I/O as well as the bus discharge feature. This can be used to drain a capacitor bank for
quicker servicing at power down. This can be an issue with drive systems that have large
capacitor banks or use oversized capacitor banks for power dip immunity. Under normal
circumstances, these banks can take excessive amounts of time to reach safe working
levels. The bus discharge feature allows the braking system to be used as the bleeder
resistor, and brings the bus voltage down much quicker.
The EIP / PDP options (available on 200A units and above) work in conjunction with the
R7E option to provide those functions via an RJ45 / DB9 plug to an EtherNet / PROFIBUS
device. The power supply for the EtherNet / PROFIBUS I/O module is isolated (3000VDC)
from the DC bus.

Like the M3452 heavy duty braking transistors, Bonitron M3575T and M3675T
standard duty braking transistors work with variable frequency drives (with DC
bus connections) to monitor the DC bus. If overvoltage occurs, the M3575T or
M3675T shunts the excess energy through an external braking resistor to
prevent overvoltage faults. The M3575T series is rated up to 600A peak / 20%
duty, while the M3675T series is rated up to 10 A peak / 20% duty.

Bonitron offers resistor solutions to complement its braking transistor selection.
The M3575R series is rated up to 32 A peak / 20% duty, while the M3775R series
is rated up to 1600 A / 100% duty. Custom resistors are also available.
