12 DC BRAKE (DCBRAKEVOLTAGE)
DC braking creates a braking torque by injecting DC voltage into the motor. This parameter set the

Ifthe drive is set to RAMP, DC braking is activated when the output frequency reaches 0 Hz. In this
case,thedrivedeceleratestheloadtoanearstopandthenDCbrakingisusedtostopandholdthemotor.
This is useful in applications where the load needs to be stopped in a certain position. Similar applications
with high-inertialoadsutilizeboth dynamic braking and DC braking. The dynamicbrakingallowsthe

Dueto heatgenerated inthemotor, DCbraking shouldonlybe usedinapplications wherethe loadis
