5. SYSTEM PARAMETERS
Parameter
Number
Note:
The inverter starts at f
If this is being used to hold the motor at a certain frequency against a mechanical brake (i.e.
you are using a relay to control a mechanical brake), it is important that f
otherwise, the current drawn may be too high and the relay may not open as inverter is in
current limit.
A typical value of f
You can calculate the rated slip frequency by using the following formula:
n – n
syn rated

P1217 Holding time after ramp down
Defines the time at which the inverter runs at f
P1215 diagram).
P1232 DC braking current
Defines level of DC current as a percentage of nominal motor current (P0305).
P1233 Duration of DC braking
Defines duration for which DC injection braking is to be active following an OFF1 command.
Possible settings:
0 =
1 – 250 =
Note
The DC braking function causes the motor to stop rapidly by applying a DC braking current
(the current applied also holds the shaft stationary). When the DC braking signal is applied,
the inverter output pulses are blocked and the DC current is only applied once the motor
has been sufficiently demagnetized. (Demagnetization time is automatically calculated from
Motor data).
Warning
Frequent use of long periods of DC braking can cause the motor to overheat.
P1236 Compound braking current
Defines DC level superimposed on AC waveform. This form of braking becomes active
following an OFF1 / OFF3 command.
Increasing the value will generally improve braking performance; however, if you set the
value too high, an overvoltage trip may result.
Possible settings:
0 =
1 – 250 =
