BD3 fast eddy current brake power supply interface

2.669,104.046,70

BD3 interface is an essential device used to power eddy current dyno brake. Is carries out following tasks:

  • Mains AC to DC conversion to power the brake winding.
  • Brake current regulation according to received logic-level PWM signal or CAN bus message

Specification

  • Supply: 100-415VAC, 50-60Hz, 1-3 phase
  • Nominal brake current up to 22.5A, up to 30A or up to 45A
  • Fast brake torque control with microcontroller operated closed loop current control and fast discharge (demagnetization).
  • Thermal protection
  • Isolated input
  • Brake energy recovery to capacitor
