ON state the Dynamic Brake Resistor connects to the inverter’s DC
bus and dissipates regenerated energy from the load. When in the
OFF state, the Dynamic Brake Resistor is electrically isolated from
the inverter’s DC bus and no energy regeneration occurs. Several
transistor ratings are used in the available DBUs. The most important
rating is the collector current rating of the Chopper Transistor that
contributes in determining the minimum ohmic value used for the

P-6Overview
Theory of Operation
When the rotor of an induction motor is turning slower than the
synchronous speed set by the drive’s output power, the motor is
transforming electrical energy obtained from the drive into mechanical
energy available at the drive shaft of the motor. This process is referred
to as motoring. When the rotor is turning faster than the synchronous
speed set by the drive’s output power, the motor is transforming
mechanical energy available at the drive shaft of the motor into electrical
energy that can be transferred back into the utility grid. This process is
referred to as regeneration.
Most AC PWM drives convert AC power from the fixed frequency utility
grid into DC power by means of a diode rectifier bridge or controlled
SCR bridge before it is inverted into variable frequency AC power.
Diode and SCR bridges can only handle power in the motoring direction.
Therefore, if the motor is regenerating, the bridge cannot conduct the
necessary negative DC current. Depending on parameter setting, the
drive regulator will either increase the DC bus voltage and cause a Bus
Overvoltage trip at the drive, or extend the set deceleration rate or
increase the output frequency.
When a drive is dissipating regenerative electrical energy on an
occasional or periodic basis, a DBU connected to the DC bus of a drive
and feeding a power resistor can be specified. When a drive is
consistently operating in the regenerative mode, a regenerative unit or
RGU should be used to transform the DC regenerated energy to the fixed
frequency utility energy.
Parameter Setting on the Inverter
ATTENTION: When the braking unit is connected to a drive, the drive
Bus Regulation should be turned off. In addition the Regen Power Limit
should be set to the motor power limit or the braking unit power limit,
whichever is greater.
For example on a PowerFlex 700
• Parameters 161/162 [Bus Reg. Mode A/B] must be set to 0 (Disabled)
• Parameter 163 [DB Resistor Type] must be set to 2 (None)
• Parameter 153 [Regen Power Lim] must be set to the motor power
limit or braking unit power limit, whichever is greater.

Line Voltage Selection
After removing the cover plate of the DBU, a red jumper plug located on
the BUC card allows for the line voltage selection of 690V / 600V.
The selection of this jumper plug defines the DC bus voltage at which
the DBU switches the brake resistor to the DC bus.

The default jumper voltage selection shipped from the factory is
690V AC line voltage.
ATTENTION: Without the jumper plug in place, the default line
voltage selection of the DBU is set to 600V AC. When operating on a
!
690V AC line the brake resistor will be constantly switched on. This
can cause an overtemperature trip on the DBU and/or the brake resistor.
Verify the jumper plug is present and has been properly selected for the
application.
P-8Overview
Permissible Loading of the DBU
To prevent thermal overload of the Braking Unit, it must operate within
the following limits:
In a time range of 10 minutes the permissible loading must be limited
to the maximum peak current of the DBU (300A) up to a maximum of
2.5 minutes.
This maximum current-time area of 750 Amp.-minutes can be of any
shape, as long as 300A is not exceeded.
The peak current (I
(maximum current with R
) in the following two examples is 300 Amp
Peak
= 3.2 ohm at 600 VAC line) and the
min
current-time area also meets the 750 Amp.-minutes requirement.

Most start-up difficulties are the result of incorrect wiring. Every
precaution must be taken to assure that the wiring is done as instructed.
All items must be read and understood before the actual installation
begins.
ATTENTION: The following information is merely a guide for proper
installation. The Rockwell Automation Company cannot assume

Minimum Mounting Clearances
For free air circulation through the cooling fins of the power section, the
braking unit must be mounted in the vertical position only. In order to
prevent overheating due to heat build-up, minimum clearances for air
circulation of 100 mm (25 in) above and below the unit must be
observed.

Installation/Wiring
Grounding Requirements
The Safety Ground terminal(PE) must be connected to the building
grounding scheme. Ground impedance must conform to the
requirements of national and local industrial safety regulations and/or
electrical codes. The integrity of all ground connections should be
periodically checked.
For installations within a cabinet, a single safety ground point or ground
bus bar connected directly to building steel should be used. All circuits
should be grounded independently and directly to this point/bar.

DBU that is required by code. This point must be connected to adjacent
building steel (girder, joist, a floor ground rod, bus bar or building
ground grid) see Figure 1.1. Grounding points must comply with
national and local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes.
For additional information refer to publication DRIVES-IN001A-EN-P.
Installation/Wiring1-3
Fuses
National and local industrial safety regulations and/or electrical codes
may determine additional requirements for these installations.
ATTENTION: The DBU does not provide DC Bus branch short
circuit protection. Specifications for the recommended fuse to provide
!
protection against short circuits are provided in Appendix
A.
Protection of Brake Resistors and Conductors
In case of a failed DBU (IGBT short circuit or a constantly ON
command), the rectified AC line voltage is passed to the brake resistor.
Since the IGBT in the DBU is not switching and therefore its
temperature is not increasing, this fault will not be detected by the
temperature sensor located on the heat sink of the DBU.
To prevent possible damages due to the overloading of the brake
resistors, leads and input rectifier, the installation of a thermal switch on
the brake resistor heat sink is recommended:
The contact of the thermal switch on the brake resistor should be wired
in series with the thermal switch on the DBU to the drives main
contactor control circuit. Refer to Figure 1.5
.

Installation/Wiring
Power Wiring
ATTENTION: National Codes and standards (NEC, VDE, BSI etc.)
and local codes outline provisions for safely installing electrical
!
equipment. Installation must comply with specifications regarding wire
types, conductor sizes, and disconnect devices. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
Recommendations for the selection and wiring of power cables
• Cable must have copper conductors only
• Cable with 1,000V rating or greater is required
• Shielded cable is preferred
• For unshielded cable allow a spacing of 0.3 meters (1 foot) for every
10 meters (32.8 feet) of length. Long parallel runs must be avoided.
• Do not use cable with an insulation thickness less than or equal to
15 mils (0.4 mm/0.015 in.).
• See “Use of Unshielded Cable”
Use of Unshielded Cable
THHN, THWN or similar wire is acceptable for drive installation in dry
environments provided adequate free air space and/or conduit fill rates
limits are provided. Do not use THHN or similarly coated wire in wet areas. Any wire chosen must have a minimum insulation thickness of
15 mils and should not have large variations in insulation concentricity.
EMC Compliance
Refer to Appendix Bfor details.
Cable Trays and Conduit
If cable trays or large conduits are to be used, refer to guidelines
presented in the PowerFlex 700 Reference Manual.
ATTENTION: To avoid a possible shock hazard caused by induced
voltages, unused wires in the conduit must be grounded at both ends.
!
For the same reason, if a drive sharing a conduit is being serviced or
installed, all drives using this conduit should be disabled. This will help
minimize the possible shock hazard from “cross coupled” motor leads.
Connect DBU, fuses and brake resistors according to the block diagram
in Figure P.1
for CE Conformity on page B-1.
. Refer also to General Installation and Wiring Guidelines
Installation/Wiring1-5
Connection leads between Inverter and DBU
During switching of the braking unit’s IGBT the inductance of the leads
between the DC bus capacitors of the inverter and the DBU generates
short time (milliseconds) bus over voltage peaks.
These bus over voltages, which are dampened by the RC snubber circuits
in the DBU, must not exceed 200 volts.

Multiple Drives Coupled through a Common DC Bus
For a DBU that is connected to several drives which are coupled through
a common DC bus, the bus over voltages must also not exceed 200 V.
The inductance of the DC bus connection leads to the engaged DC bus
capacitors must be kept low by adhering to the following measures:
• Use short leads with low inductance.
• Locate the DBU as close as possible to the largest DC bus capacitors.
• Wires should be twisted

Installation/Wiring
Connection leads between the DBU and the Brake Resistor (R)
The cable length between the DBU and the Brake Resistor must not
exceed 30 meters, but the limiting factor for this connection is the time
constant of the brake resistor (Ratio of Inductance to Resistance).
See Brake Resistor Specifications
The inductance of the cables or leads can be reduced by bundling single
leads or using multi core (EMC shielded) cable.
To connect the brake resistors, heat-resistant cables and cable sockets
must be used (min. 90°C). Brake resistor cable selection should be based
on the maximum mean rms braking current of the DBU
For Max./Min. cable cross sections (mm2 and AWG) and tightening
torque see
Table 1.B.
on page A-4
. See page A-1.
Cooling Fan Supply Voltage
A 115 VAC (50/60 Hz, 0.2A) customer supplied power supply is
required for the DBU cooling fans. The 115V AC Power source should
be connected between terminals (0) and (115) located on the fan unit.

General Installation and Wiring Guidelines for CE Conformity
• The cable length between the DBU and inverter should be kept less
than 3m (10ft) in order to reduce electromagnetic emission as well as
capacitive currents. The inverter should be located in the same
cabinet or next to the cabinet with the DBU. If the connection leads
between DBU and inverter(s) leave the cabinet, shielded cables must
be used and cable length must be minimized.
• Cabinets should be designed for radiated EMC attenuation.
Recommended cabinets include Rittal TS8 series.
• Brake resistor assemblies should be mounted outside of the control
cabinet in a separate metal cabinet or screened enclosure designed to
dissipate the thermal energy.
• The DBU meets CE EMC emission limits for the industrial

environment, it is not intended to be used on a low-voltage public
network which supplies domestic premises. If used in a residential or
domestic environment itwill cause radio interference. The user is
required to take all the necessary measures to prevent interference in
addition to the essential requirements for CE compliance listed
below.
• Conformity of the drive with CE EMC requirements does not
guarantee that the entire machine installation will comply with CE
EMC requirements. Many factors can influence total machine and
installation compliance.
Essential Requirements for CE Compliance
Conditions 1 to 6 listed below must be satisfied in order for the DBU to
meet the requirements of EN61800-3.
1. The DBU and brake resistors must be installed in a cabinet or
enclosure which provides good attenuation of radiated radio
frequency emissions from the DBU and brake resistor.
Such enclosures incorporate the following construction features:
• enclosure of steel construction surrounds the DBU and the brake
• high frequency, low impedance electrical bonding between all
sides and earth
• continuous metal-to-metal contact between adjacent sides, top
and bottom
• continuous conductive gasketing at mating surfaces of opening
doors or removable covers
• conductive screening over all enclosure openings, including
ventilation openings, such that no single opening is larger than
6mm in diameter (0.24 in).
2. Use of CE compliant inverter(s).
3. Review important precautions/attentions statements throughout this
document before installing the DBU.
4. Grounding as described on page B.4.
5. All Power wiring (except line input) and control wiring outside the
cabinet must be braided, shielded cable with a coverage of 75% or
better, or metal conduit, or conductors with equivalent attenuation.
6. The shield of all cables outside the cabinet must be connected to the
cabinets earthed bus bar or to the cabinet enclosure using EMC style
cable glands.
For additional requirements refer to the Drive(s) User Manual.
Mounting Instructions
CE ConformityB-3
Cabinet Mounted Drives
If the drive related components are mounted in a cabinet, the following
rules must be observed:
• If located in a common cabinet, all drive related components must be
screwed directly to a blank (non painted) panel with good
conductivity and the largest possible contact area.
• The support panel for the DBU and an inverter with filters must be a
conducting steel sheet with a common ground bus bar located at the
bottom of the support panel. This ground bus bar, must be solidly
connected to the panel to ensure good conductivity.
• All cable screens for cables entering the cabinet must be solidly
connected to the cabinet’s ground bus bar or to the ground stud of the
inverter with a large connection area and good conductivity to ensure
that the grounding represents a low impedance for HF signals.
• Either galvanized cable brackets or EMC cable glands are required.
Standalone Drives and Related Components
• If the drive and related components (inverter, RFI-Filter, DBU and
brake resistor) are mounted in separate enclosures, these must be of
conductive metallic material in which the diameter of ventilation
holes should not exceed 6 mm (0.24 in).
• The spacing between brake resistor assembly and the enclosure wall
shall be 100 mm (4 in) minimum.

Determining Dynamic Brake Requirements
How to Determine Dynamic Brake Requirements
When a drive is consistently operating in the regenerative mode of
operation, serious consideration should be given to equipment that will
transform the electrical energy back to the fixed frequency utility grid.
As a general rule, Dynamic Braking is used when the need to dissipate
regenerative energy occurs on an occasional or periodic basis. In general,
the motor power rating, speed, torque, and details regarding the
regenerative mode of operation will be needed in order to estimate what
Dynamic Brake Resistor value is needed.
C-1
The Peak Regenerative Power and Average Regenerative Power
required for the application must be calculated in order to determine the
brake resistor value, and to verify the suitability of the DBU.
The power rating of the Dynamic Brake Resistor is estimated by
applying what is known about the drive’s motoring and regenerating
modes of operation. The Average Power Dissipation must be estimated
and the power rating of the Dynamic Brake Resistor chosen to be greater
than that average. If the Dynamic Brake Resistor has a large thermodynamic heat capacity, then the resistor element will be able to absorb a
large amount of energy without the temperature of the resistor element
exceeding the operational temperature rating. Thermal time constants in
the order of 50 seconds and higher satisfy the criteria of large heat
capacities for these applications. If a resistor has a small heat capacity
(defined as thermal time constants less than 5 seconds) the temperature
of the resistor element could exceed its maximum.
C-2Design Information
The Peak Regenerative Power can be calculated as:
• Horsepower (English units)
• Watts (The International System of Units, SI)
• Per Unit System (pu) which is relative to a value
The final number must be in watts of power to estimate the resistance
value of the Dynamic Brake Resistor. The following calculations are
demonstrated in SI units.
Gather the following information
• Power rating from motor nameplate in watts, kilowatts, or
horsepower
• Speed rating from motor nameplate in rpm or rps (radians per sec.)
• Required decel time (per Figure C.1
,
t3 – t2). This time is a process
requirement and must be within the capabilities of the drive
programming.

Selecting the Resistor
In order to select the appropriate Dynamic Brake Resistor for your
application, the following data must be calculated.
Peak Regenerative Power
(Expressed in watts)
This is used to determine the maximum resistance value of the Dynamic
Brake Resistor. If this value is greater than the maximum imposed by the
peak regenerative power of the drive, the drive can trip off due to
transient DC bus overvoltage problems.
Power Rating of the Dynamic Brake Resistor
The average power dissipation of the regenerative mode must be
estimated and the power rating of the Dynamic Brake Resistor chosen to
be greater than the average regenerative power dissipation of the drive.
(See Step 3 on page C-6

ATTENTION: The DBU and most drives do not offer protection for
externally mounted brake resistors. Risk of fire exists if external
