Calculating the dynamic braking resistor for a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) involves determining the required resistance value and power rating. Here’s a step-by-step guide: 1. Determine the System Parameters: - Motor Power (P): in kW or HP. - DC Bus Voltage (Vdc): typically provided by the VFD manufacturer. - Braking Torque (Tb): as a percentage of the motor’s rated torque. -Braking Time (Tb_time): the duration for which braking is applied. Deceleration Time (Td): the total time to decelerate the motor. 2. Calculate the Required Braking Power: The braking power can be estimated using the motor power and the braking torque. \[ P_b = P \times \frac{Tb}{100} \] Where: - \( P_b \) = Braking power in kW - \( P \) = Motor power in kW - \( Tb \) = Braking torque as a percentage of rated torque &n...
