Description: In the operation of three-level menu, you can press PRG or ENTER to return to
the second-level menu. The difference between the two is: Press ENTER key to save the set
parameters and return to the secondary menu, and automatically transfer to the next function code;
Pressing the PRG key directly returns to the secondary menu, without storing parameters, and
returns to the current function code.

In the third menu state, if the parameter has no flicker bits, it means that the function code can
not be modified. The possible reasons are as follows:
1) The function code is an unmodifiable parameter. For example, the actual detection
parameters, operation record parameters and so on.
2) The function code can not be modified in the running state, and can not be modified until
the downtime.

This parameter is used to set the starting braking voltage of the braking unit.
220V voltage level, default braking voltage is 350V;
380V voltage level, default braking voltage is 670V;
480V voltage level, default braking voltage is 760V;
F0.01 Braking hysteresis voltage 0V～100V 20V ☆
This parameter is used to set the hysteresis voltage during braking.
Generally when setting braking start voltage and braking stop voltage, there must be a
hysteresis loop. Such as settings F0.00=670V,F0.01=20V,when the bus voltage d0.00 is higher
than F0.00, start braking. When the bus voltage d0.00 is lower than (F0.00-F0.01), stop braking.
When the original state is in braking state, and the value of d0.00 is within F0.00 ~ (F0.00-
F0.01), the braking state is maintained.
F0.02 Default brake voltage selection 0～2 1 ★
This parameter is used to set the default braking voltage for different voltage levels.
When setting to 0, corresponding to 220V voltage level, the default braking voltage is 350V;
When setting to 1, corresponding to 380V voltage level, the default braking voltage is 670V;
When setting to 2, corresponding to 480V voltage level, the default braking voltage is 760V;
F0.03 Braking rate 0%～100% 100% ☆
This parameter is used to select the braking rate.
When braking rate is set to 100%, it shows that the braking is fully open, at this time the
braking effect is the best, with the fastest voltage drop, but the brake resistor temperature rises
quickly.
When the braking rate is set to 0%, it shows that the braking is turned off, at this time even
if it reaches the braking condition, the braking does not work.

Chapter 5 Brake unit and brake resistor

5-1 Brake unit

5-1-1.Brake voltage selection is based on below two conditions:
(1) According to the input voltage level of inverter , choose the brake unit with relative
voltage level
(2) According to the required braking power when inverter is braking , choose the brake
unit with relative power .
The principle of brake unit power selection is that the power of brake unit is greater than the
braking power . in the case where the braking power is not specified , please estimate according to
below ways :
Pb=P*Td*K
In this formula:Pb-----braking power;
P----- motor power
K----- mechanical energy conversion efficiency,the general value is 0.7
Td---- ratio of brake torque to motor rated torque
Td values vary in different systems , as shown in the following table.
Large inertia equipment
Common Elevator lift Uncoiler and Ordinary
that requires quick
applications crane recoiling inertial load
stopping
Td value 100% 120% 120% 80%
5-1-2.Brake resistor resistance selection
When it is braking, the regenerative energy of the motor is almost consumed on the brake
resistor ,according to the formula:
U*U/R=Pb
In the formula:U----- braking voltage in stable braking system
(vary in different systems , for 220VAC system usually choose 380v; for 380VAC system
usually choose 700V, for 480VAC system usually choose 800V)
Note: when the value of R is less than the minimum resistance of each voltage level, multiple
brake units are required.
5-1-3.Brake unit power selection
In theory , the power of brake resistance is same as the braking power , but considering
derating is 70%. according to formula:
0.7*Pr=Pb*ED
In the formula:Pr-----brake unit power
ED----- braking frequency , the proportion of braking process in the whole working process
Common application ED value
Uncoiler and recoiling 20%～30%
Accidental braking load 5%
Elevator 20%～30%
Lifting machinery , centrifuge 50%～60%
Injection molding machine 5%～10%
General occasion 10%

In the above table, the recommended braking unit and braking resistor resistance can meet
various inverters with ED=0～100%. And the power of the braking resistor depends on the
application conditions.
