Filmlet with the presentation model to SINAMICS G120 CU240E. The video shows the Efficient Infeed Technology for Applications with a high braking efficiency.

 

The Benefits at a Glance

  • Continuous braking with 100% of the rated power

  • Energy savings thanks to regeneration with motor in generating mode

  • Omission of braking resistor, line reactor and brake chopper

  • No costly configuration of the braking resistors and no time-consuming cabling

  • Considerably lower space requirements than conventional compact converters

  • Up to 22% less power infeed

  • No additional heat generated during braking
