Bonitron Braking Transistors are used with AC drives to allow full power braking and eliminate overvoltage faults. This permits controlled braking and dramatically shortens motor stopping time. The M3452 works with Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) to monitor the DC bus. If overvoltage occurs, the M3452 shunts the excess energy through a braking resistor to prevent overvoltage faults.
