Section 1
General Information
Overview

Whenever a motor is abruptly stopped or forced to slow down faster than if allowed to
coast to a stop, the motor becomes a generator. When connected to a Baldor Series H
control, the motor has the ability to produce braking torque. The braking torque is
noncontinuous and is limited by the available peak current, the peak current time rating
and the dynamic braking (DB) capacity built into or connected to the control. Should
these ratings and DB capacity be exceeded during braking, the control may trip off due
on an overvoltage or REGEN power fault. Table 1-1 defines the voltage trip points for
Series H controls.

Limited Warranty
For a period of two (2) years from the date of original purchase, BALDOR will
repair or replace without charge controls and accessories which our
examination proves to be defective in material or workmanship. This
warranty is valid if the unit has not been tampered with by unauthorized
persons, misused, abused, or improperly installed and has been used in
accordance with the instructions and/or ratings supplied. This warranty is in
lieu of any other warranty or guarantee expressed or implied. BALDOR
shall not be held responsible for any expense (including installation and
removal), inconvenience, or consequential damage, including injury to any
person or property caused by items of our manufacture or sale. (Some
states do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above exclusion may not apply.) In any event, BALDORS
total liability, under all circumstances, shall not exceed the full purchase
price of the control. Claims for purchase price refunds, repairs, or
replacements must be referred to BALDOR with all pertinent data as to the
defect, the date purchased, the task performed by the control, and the
problem encountered. No liability is assumed for expendable items such as
fuses.
Goods may be returned only with written notification including a BALDOR
Return Authorization Number and any return shipments must be prepaid.

Safety Notice

This equipment contains voltages that may be as high as 1000 volts! Electrical shock
can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt the startup
procedure or troubleshoot this equipment.
This equipment may be connected to other machines that have rotating parts or parts
that are driven by this equipment. Improper use can cause serious or fatal injury. Only
qualified personnel should attempt the startup procedure or troubleshoot this equipment.

PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Be sure to read all precautions statements in the Series H control
manual before you install the dynamic brake hardware. Failure to
observe all precautions may result in injury.
WARNING: The brake may generate enough heat to ignite combustible
materials. Keep all combustible materials and flammable vapors
away from the brake.
WARNING: The temperature of the air above the brake can be extremely high.
These temperatures can cause sever burns so keep hands away
from the area of the top of the enclosure during or after operation.
WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power.
Do not apply AC power before you ensure that all grounding
instructions have been followed. Electrical shock can cause
serious or fatal injury.

MN701

Caution:

The minimum resistance of the optional braking resistors is

determined by the maximum amount of current the braking
transistor can safety conduct. Using a DB resistor that has less
resistance than is specified in Table 3-1 may damage the control
and/or the DB transistor.

Caution:

Use an RGA assembly that has a resistance equal to or greater than

the Minimum Ohms specified in Table 3-3. Using less resistance
than specified may damage the control and/or the DB transistor.

Caution:

If the DB hardware mounting is in any position other than vertical,

the DB hardware must be derated by 35% of its rated capacity.

Caution:

Controls with an E or W suffix have an internal dynamic braking

transistor and resistor installed. If you are installing a larger DB
resistor , be sure to disconnect the internal resistor wires from
terminals B+/R1and R2. These factory installed wires must be
removed and the ends insulated with electrical tape to prevent
contact with other components. Failure to disconnect the internal
resistor will place the internal and the new resistors in parallel
which may result in equipment damage.

RBA Assemblies

An RBA Assembly includes a dynamic brake transistor and resistors completely

assembled and mounted in a NEMA 1 enclosure. The are designed for EO and MO
controls. Select the RBA (Table 3-2) based on the voltage rating of the control and the
dynamic brake watt capacity required. If more than 4,000 watts of brake capacity is
required, use a combination of RTA (DB transistor) and RGA (DB resistor) assemblies.
In this case, the minimum resistance of the RGA assembly must be equal to the minimum
resistance value specified for the RTA assembly (refer to Table 3-3).

RTA Assemblies

RTA assemblies include a dynamic brake transistor and gate driver circuit board
completely assembled and mounted in a NEMA 1 enclosure. Brake resistors are not
included in the RTA assembly. Each RTA assembly is designed to be used with an RGA
dynamic brake resistor assembly. The minimum resistance of the RGA assembly must
be equal to or greater than the minimum resistance specified for the RTA assembly.
Select the RTA (Table 3-3) based on the voltage and maximum 2.5KHz standard constant
torque HP rating of the control which provides the dynamic brake watt capacity required.
Caution:

Use an RGA assembly that has a resistance equal to or greater than

the Minimum Ohms specified in Table 3-3. Using less resistance
than specified may damage the control and/or the DB transistor.

WARNING: Resistors may generate enough heat to ignite combustible
materials. To avoid fire hazard, keep all combustible materials and
flammable vapors away from brake resistors.

Physical Installation

Dynamic Brake (DB) Hardware must be installed on a flat, non-flammable, vertical

surface to obtain effective cooling and operation. The ambient temperature must not
exceed 80C.
1.

Select a clean VERTICAL surface that is free from corrosive gasses, liquids,
vibration, dust and metallic particles.

Caution:
2.

If the DB hardware mounting is in any position other than vertical,

the DB hardware must be derated by 35% of its rated capacity.

Mount the DB hardware as shown in Figure 4-1.

Electrical Installation

Terminal connections for DB hardware are determined by Control model number suffix (E,
W, EO, MO or ER). See Figure 4-2 for terminal identification. Connect the DB assembly
to the control terminal strip as shown in Figure 4-3, 4-4 or 4-5. Be sure to use wire size
specified for your control (Tables 4-1 and 4-2).

Controls with an E or W suffix have an internal dynamic braking transistor and resistor
installed. The internal resistor is sized for 20% braking cycle. If you are installing a larger
DB resistor (RGA kit), be sure to disconnect the internal resistor wires from terminals
B+/R1and R2. These factory installed wires must be removed and the wire ends
insulated with electrical tape to prevent contact with other components. Be sure to
select the proper size kit based on the dissipation rating of the resistor(s) to handle the
average watts of the overhauling or cyclic load.
Caution:

Controls with an E or W suffix have an internal dynamic braking

transistor and resistor installed. If you are installing a larger DB
resistor , be sure to disconnect the internal resistor wires from

General Information
ER Controls

Controls with an ER suffix have an internal dynamic braking transistor factory installed.
If dynamic braking is required, an optional RGA kit may be installed. Be sure to select
the proper size kit based on the dissipation rating of the resistor(s) to handle the average
watts of the overhauling or cyclic load.

EO or WO Controls

Controls with an EO or MO suffix do not have an internal dynamic braking transistor

installed. If dynamic braking is required, an optional RBA kit may be installed. Be sure to
select the proper size kit based on the dissipation rating of the resistor(s) to handle the
average watts of the overhauling or cyclic load.

Adjusting Control Parameters
When installation is complete, the control parameters must be set so the control knows
the resistance and wattage ratings of the dynamic brake hardware. The actual procedure
may vary depending upon the type of control used.
Refer to the Programming section of the control manual. Access the Level 2 parameters
and use the following information to assist in setting the DB parameter values.
