The brake chopper is used for consuming electric energy
transmitted from external motor to frequency converter andlimiting bus voltage within a reasonable range to improve
its braking performance and fast stop of the motor.
The brake chopper has standard dust cover, but you canalso set the parameters with the use of LED and LCD
operating panel of EFC series1. It supports the linkage
input and linkage output with paralleling up to 3 braking
units in maximum. And it also has overvoltage,
overcurrent, overheating, short circuit resistance,
overheating protection.
u Operation voltage: 600...785 V, parameter adjusting step
size: 0.01 V
u The length between brake chopper and frequency converter
plus the length between brake chopper and brake resistor
should not be more than 5m.
