Braking Chopper
Braking choppers, sometimes also referred to as braking units, are used in the DC voltage intermediate circuits of frequency converters to control voltage when the load feeds energy back to the intermediate circuit. This arises, for example, when a magnetized motor is being rotated by an overhauling load and so functions as a generator feeding power to the DC voltage intermediate circuit.R. Krishnan, 2001 "Electric Motor Drives: Modeling, Analysis, and Control", Prentice Hall They are an application of the chopper principle, using the on-off control of a switching device. Operation A braking chopper is an electrical switch that limits the DC bus voltage by switching the braking energy to a resistor where the braking energy is converted to heat. Braking choppers are automatically activated when the actual DC bus voltage exceeds a specified level depending on the nominal voltage of the variable-frequency drive Benefits * Simple electrical construction and well-known technology * L ...
