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 M3575T and M3675T series are ideal for drives with no internal braking transistor or 7th IGBT and work with variable frequency drives to monitor the DC bus. If overvoltage occurs, the braking transistor shunts the excess energy through a braking resistor to prevent overvoltage faults.
