Reliance Electric Engineering Drive System and DBU Dynamic Braking Unit

Reliance Electric Engineering Drive System and DBU Dynamic Braking Unit

The Reliance Electric engineering drive system and DBU dynamic braking unit are a complete solution for industrial motor control. The core includes the installation and operation specifications of the engineering drive system and the DBU-50/100/200/400 dynamic braking unit (37-300kW power). The system must comply with mechanical installation (space/environment/lifting) and electrical compliance (wiring classification/grounding/overcurrent protection) specifications. The DBU unit converts DC bus electrical energy into thermal energy through PWM regulation to achieve rapid braking. It supports 415V/460V line voltage switching and BUD diagnostic function, and needs to be used with braking resistors. It is suitable for industrial scenarios with high inertia/active loads as a whole. Installation and operation must strictly comply with safety and EMC standards.

Overall specification for engineering drive system

Equipment reception and identification

Receiving inspection: After arrival, the packaging needs to be checked for integrity, and any damage needs to be marked on the carrier's documents and inspected.

Equipment identification: Each device contains a unique serial number (including order number/sub order prefix/quantity suffix), production date code, and nameplate indicating core parameters such as voltage/current/power.

Document requirements: The accompanying Instruction Book should include a list of equipment, drawings, manuals, and spare parts, and be updated and revised after startup.

Mechanical installation requirements

Space and spacing (key numbers):

Equipment type Front spacing Top spacing End spacing

Wall mounted operation cabinet -10 inches (254mm)-

Floor console 36 inches (914mm) 18 inches (457mm)-

Mill Control Class A -48 inches (1219mm)-

Environmental restrictions: Operating temperature is 0-40 ℃ (with a 1.5% reduction in capacity per ℃ between 40-55 ℃), storage temperature is -25-55 ℃, avoiding corrosive, dusty, and vibrating environments.

Lifting specifications: Use the equipment with its own lifting ears, with a sling angle of ≥ 45 °. For heavy equipment, spread bars are required to avoid pulling or pulling the wiring terminals.

Electrical installation compliance

Wiring Classification (IEEE Standard):

Level 1 (low-level signal):<50V analog signal, 4-20mA signal, requires shielded cable, with a distance of 26 inches from the power line.

Level 4 (power circuit):>20A/250V AC/DC, independent conduit, with a distance of ≥ 26 inches from Level 1.

Core protection:

Overcurrent protection: Branch circuits need to be matched with fuses/circuit breakers, with specifications configured according to 115% of the rated current of the equipment.

Grounding requirements: The metal casing of the equipment should be grounded, and the cross-sectional area of the grounding conductor should be ≥ 16mm ² or 50% of the phase line.

Disconnecting device: visible and lockable within 50 feet of the equipment.

Cable specifications:

Fiber optic cable: 62.5/50 micron duplex, maximum 750 meters, bending radius ≥ 10 times the diameter.

Shielded cable: 360 ° grounding, used for signal and power cable isolation.

Core parameter table

|Model | Maximum braking current | Continuous braking power (460V) | Minimum resistance (460V) | Weight|

| DBU-50 | 50A | 9kW | 14.4Ω | 3.1kg |

| DBU-100 | 100A | 18kW | 7.2Ω | 3.1kg |

| DBU-200 | 200A | 36kW | 3.6Ω | 9kg |

| DBU-400 | 400A | 72kW | 1.8Ω | 10kg |

Voltage switching: Select 415V (starting voltage DC 680V) or 460V (starting voltage DC 750V) through the blue jumper, default 460V.

Load limit: Maximum current allowed to run for 2.5 minutes within 10 minutes (DBU-400 is 400A x 110 seconds).

Installation and Wiring

Installation requirements: Vertically fixed on the metal panel, with a 100mm heat dissipation gap reserved above and below; DBU-400 requires forced ventilation (158m ³/h).

Short circuit protection: Series aR type fuses (50A for DBU-50 and 400A for DBU-400) are used to prevent IGBT short circuit faults.

Cable requirements:

Inverter DBU: Line length ≤ 1.5m, shielded cable bundled and laid to reduce inductance overvoltage (≤ 200V).

DBU - Resistance: High temperature resistant cable to 90 ℃, τ=L/R<20μs， Cross section matching (DBU-400 uses 95mm ²).

Diagnosis and Design Calculation

BUD diagnostic card function:

Indicator lights: left LED (DC bus>50V), right LED (braking current>0).

Output signals: switch output (monitoring braking status), analog output (0-20mA feedback braking power).

Key calculation formula:

Braking power:

P [kW]=91200 ⋅ t B J ⋅ Δ n ⋅ n (J=moment of inertia, n=pre braking speed).

Braking resistor: at 415V

At R=439/P and 460V

R=534/P， Must be ≥ minimum resistance value.

Example: A roller conveyor with 20 2.5kW motors, braking time of 1.8s, requires 50kW braking power, and DBU-100 and 10 Ω resistors are selected.
