SINAMICS V20

SINAMICS V20 Inverter Dynamic braking module (option)

DANGER
Risk of electric shock
Hazardous voltages can remain present in the inverter after the power is removed. This has the potential to cause severe personal
injury or death.
After the inverter is powered off, wait at least five minutes before installing / replacing the dynamic braking module.

A C SINAMICS V20

NOTE
This module is applicable for frame sizes A to C only. See SINAMICS V20 Inverter Getting Started for more safety notes.

Functionality

A dynamic braking module which can control an external braking resistor is required for dynamic braking. Dynamic braking converts the regenerative
energy, which is released when the motor brakes, into heat. It is typically used in applications such as conveyor drives or hoisting gear.

Mounting orientation

The dynamic braking module must be installed in the orientation as shown in the following diagram. That is, the open slots must always point directly
upwards to ensure adequate cooling.

WARNING
Destruction of device
It is extremely important to ensure that the polarity of the DC link connections between the inverter and the dynamic braking module
is correct. If the polarity of the DC terminals connections is reversed, it could result in the destruction of the inverter and the
module.

NOTICE
Damage to the braking resistor
Incorrect setting for the duty cycle / voltage could damage the attached braking resistor.
