Brake Chopper
Use With Applications: Brushless DC controllers, Frequency inverters & Battery chargers
Worldwide input Buss voltage without adjustments, 200 – 440VDC or 450 – 800VDC
No separate control voltage for the control board necessary
EMERGENCY STOP possible even at power failure, because the control board is powered by the DC-bus
Compact size
Operating-, fault- and stand-by indication by LED’s
State of the art IGBT technology
Easy start up, no adjustments necessary
Metal case (best EMC performance)
When the chopper is active, minimal voltage ripple on the DC-bus
Chopper is earth and short circuit protected
Option: Parallel- or series connection of the brake choppers by means of master/slave function ready for operation as well as „chopper active“ via optocoupler output. Disable powerstage and trigger signal via optocoupler input.
