In the next step, it is necessary to reduce the motor speed. The motor becomes a
generator and the power is returned to the DC link.
In order to avoid overvoltage, the energy is dissipated in a resistor by using the dynamic
braking module, as shown in figure 2.2.
The DBW03 dynamic braking module has the following characteristics:
Supply of the electronics obtained directly from the DC link.
Digital control.
Self-contained operating mode.
Slave operating mode.
Disabling via external control.
Braking resistor temperature monitoring via thermostat.
Ground fault monitoring.
Module status signaling via LEDs.
Relay outputs for fault indication.
