NFB
5. The AC Motor Drive and braking
unit will be electrified at the same time
while turning on the NFB (No-fuse
breaker). For the operation/stop
method of the motor, please refer to the
user manual of the AC Motor Drives
VFD Series. The braking unit will
detect the inner DC voltage of the AC
motor drive when it stops the motor by
deceleration. The extra regeneration
will be dissipated away rapidly by the
braking resistor in the form of heat. It
can ensure the stable deceleration
characteristic.

Thank you for choosing DELTA’s braking module. VFDB braking units are applied to absorb the motor regeneration energy when the
three-phase induction motor stops by deceleration. With VFDB braking unit, the regeneration energy will be dissipated in dedicated
braking resistors. To prevent mechanical or human injury, please refer to this instruction sheet before wiring. VFDB braking units are
suitable for DELTAAC Motor Drives VFD Series 230V/460V/575V. VFDB braking units need to be used in conjunction with BR series
braking resistors to provide the optimum braking characteristics. VFDB braking units (2015, 2022, 4030, 4045 and 5055) are approved
by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) and Canadian Underwriters Laboratories (cUL). The content of this instruction sheet may be
revised without prior notice. Please consult our distributors or download the most updated version at

very important to set the power voltage of the braking unit based on the input power of the AC motor drive before operation. The setting
has a great influence on the potential of the operation voltage for the braking unit. Please refer to the table below.

Operation Explanation: 1. For safety consideration, install an overload relay between the braking unit and the braking resistor. In
conjunction with the magnetic contactor (MC) prior to the drive, it can perform complete protection against abnormality.
2. The purpose of installing the thermal overload relay is to protect the braking resistor from damage due to frequent braking, or due to
braking unit keeping operating resulted from unusual high input voltage. Under such circumstance, just turn off the power to prevent
damaging the braking resistor.

means that the temperature of the installation environment may exceed 50oC, or the braking %ED may exceed 10%ED. With this kind

the control circuit or the temperature sensor may have been damaged. At this time, please send the braking unit back to the
