General Braking Module Description A Braking Module (and an external braking resistor) is required in certain cases when the drive is to be braked or brought to a standstill (e.g., EMERGENCY STOP category 1). The Braking Module contains the power electronics and the associated Control Unit. The supply voltage for the electronics is drawn from the DC link.

General 2.2 Braking resistor Braking resistor Description In converters with no regenerative feedback capability, the energy that occurs in the drive train under regenerative conditions is fed back to the DC link where it is reduced via braking resistors. The braking resistor is connected to the Braking Module. The distance between the Braking Module and braking resistor must not exceed 100 m.
Mechanical installation General WARNING To ensure that the devices operate safely and reliably, they must be properly installed and commissioned by qualified personnel, taking into account the warnings provided in these operating instructions. In particular, the general and national installation and safety guidelines for high-voltage installations (e.g.

With line voltages of between 380 V and 400 V, the response threshold can be set to 673 V to reduce the 774 V voltage stress on the motor and converter.
Connection 4.3 Connecting the braking resistor Connecting the braking resistor WARNING The Braking Module must only be connected when the Power Module has been disconnected from the power supply and the DC link capacitors have been discharged. CAUTION The cables for the braking resistor must be routed to prevent short-circuiting and ground faults in accordance with IEC 61800-5-2:2007, Table D.1.
Integration of the thermostatic switch as release for switch-off via OFF2 The thermostatic switch must be connected to a free digital input of the SINAMICS G130 so that the converter is safely disconnected from the power supply if the braking resistor overheats.
Maintenance and servicing Maintenance and servicing are not carried out for the Braking Module and braking resistor. If a fault occurs, the Braking Module and/or braking resistor must be replaced. Braking Module / braking resistor Operating Instructions, 03/2012, A5E00331454A...
