2.1
Braking Module
Description
A Braking Module (and an external braking resistor) is required in certain cases when the
drive is to be braked or brought to a standstill (e.g. EMERGENCY STOP category 1). The
Braking Module contains the power electronics and the associated Control Unit. The supply
voltage for the electronics is drawn from the DC link.
During operation, the DC-link energy is converted to heat loss in an external braking resistor.
The Braking Module functions independently of the converter closed-loop controller. In the
case of Power Modules with frame sizes HX and JX, it is possible to operate several Braking
Modules in parallel in order to enhance performance. In this case, each Braking Module
must be fitted with its own braking resistor.
Structure
The Braking Module is inserted in a slot inside the Power Module, the fan of which ensures
forced cooling. The Braking Module is connected to the DC link by means of the busbar sets
and flexible cables, which are supplied as standard.

2.2
Braking resistor
Description
In converters with no regenerative feedback capability, the energy that occurs in the drive
train under regenerative conditions is fed back to the DC link where it is reduced via braking
resistors.
The braking resistor is connected to the Braking Module. The distance between the Braking
Module and braking resistor must not exceed 100 m. This enables the resulting heat loss to
be dissipated outside the switchgear room.
Resistors with rated powers of 25 kW and 50 kW are available.
To boost performance, Braking Modules and braking resistors can be connected in parallel.
In this case, the Braking Modules are installed in the discharged air ducts of the Power
Module. Depending on the size of the Power Module, overall up to 3 slots are available:
●Frame size FX: 1 mounting location
●Frame size GX: 1 mounting location
●Frame size HX: 2 mounting locations
●Frame size JX: 3 mounting locations
Since the braking resistors can be used in converters with a wide voltage range, the voltage
can be adjusted (for example, to reduce the voltage stress on the motor and converter) by
setting the response thresholds on the Braking Module.
A thermostat monitors the braking resistor for excessively high temperatures and issues a
signal on a floating contact if the limit value is exceeded.
