R1000

Regenerative Unit

The power regenerative unit

The R1000 regenerative braking unit is a smart and efficient alternative to dynamic braking for single or multi-axis drive installations with high amounts of regenerative motor operation. Instead of wasting it as heat, the R1000 feeds excessive braking energy back to the grid, thus reducing the energy consumption of the installation.

 

Energy saving 4Q operation

R1000 saves energy by making excessive braking energy available to other consumers in the same grid instead of wasting it as heat. R1000 provides high duty cycle braking capability, thus it can shorten machine cycles and increase productivity of machinery.

 

Smart system design

R1000 is purely selected by braking power and can therefore be selected smaller than the drive it is connected to. Thus it allows to minimize system space, optimize cost and maximize efficiency.

 

Cool operation

R1000 eliminates the need for safely located braking resistors, thus saving valuable space and reducing the risk of fire. Less heat is generated so that the demand for ventilation is greatly reduced. Maintenance, e.g. for resistor cleaning, is not necessary.

 

Easy to handle package

R1000 comes in an easy to handle package. Only one material number for all components makes procurement simple and assures completeness and parts compatibility.

 

Compatible

R1000 regenerative units can be used with any conventional drive that has full access to the DC bus.

 

Reduce costs

Especially in high duty braking applications such as cranes, escalators or lifts the R1000 provides numerous advantages. The small installation space and low heat generation impact installation cost, while using the regenerated energy reduces the running cost so that the R1000 pays back in a short period.

Save energy with power regeneration

The R1000 avoids wasted energy by delivering it back to the power source for use by other loads. R1000 can be used to maximize efficiency of single- and multi-axis systems.

Economical dynamic braking

The R1000 provides the most economical way of dynamic braking by

  • Selection purely by braking power – R1000 can be smaller than the drive
  • Less energy consumption from grid as other consumers in the same installation can use braking energy
  • Less space and heat by removed braking choppers and resistors
  • Reduced ventilation requirements by less heat emission

Flexible application

The R1000 can be used on single drives as well as in drives, servo or other systems that have an interconnected DC bus.

Compatible

The R1000 can work with all conventional drives having full power access to DC bus. By that it is the perfect match when planning energy efficient new installations or upgrading existing ones.

For a wide range of applications

Using the D1000 regenerative converter unit saves energy and thereby money within a broad range of applications. This includes applications with large-inertia loads, 4-quadrant loads, long-term energy feedback and quick braking.
