Overview
DY5 Electronic Motor Brake
208 / 230 / 460 / 575 Volts
Electronic AC Motor Brake
The DY5 unit is an electronic AC motor brake. Installation is
simple and fast. Only four power wires are needed, plus five
interconnecting leads to the existing starter. Use the DY5 to stop
AC motors safely and quickly. DY5 brakes can be applied to most
full voltage electromechanical starters and solid state soft
starts, and can be ordered as an installed option on a soft
starter. DY5 Digital Electronic Motor Brakes utilize a
microprocessor and 4-SCR Full Wave Bridge to apply regulated DC
current to the stator of an AC induction motor causing controlled
braking.
The DY5 employs zero speed sensing to automatically remove
braking current as soon as the motor stops, thus minimizing motor
heating and idle time before restarting. The DY5 is designed
specifically for applications requiring smooth, rapid braking to
reduce motor stopping time and help meet OSHA safety standards.
Universal Input Voltage allows the DY5 to operate at line voltages
from 200 to 600 VAC and line frequencies between 45 and 65 Hz. PC
programmable for custom applications and braking curves.
