This document describes the features and characteristics of type A DC brake, which is suitable for all asynchronous motors. It has a simple installation method and can be used in both new and existing systems. It is maintenance-free and does not require replacement of parts. It is suitable for special voltages up to 600V for 20A devices and up to 690V for devices above 40A. It integrates a brake contactor and can be snapped onto a 35mm standard rail. It has IP 20 or IP 00 protection rating. It can be controlled via motor contactor and has adjustable parameters for brake current and brake time. It also has a potential-free output for motor contactor interlock during braking and a potential-free output for the brake contactor for devices above 40A.
The BR series brake devices from PETER electronic provide DC braking with a single direction and are suitable for all asynchronous motors. They feature easy installation, wear‑free operation and IP protection, and are intended for saw machines, centrifuges, wood‑working, textile and conveyor equipment.
Key specifications include network voltages of 220/240 V ±10 % (50/60 Hz) or 380/415 V ±10 % (50/60 Hz), a 6 VA electronic power consumption, adjustable brake current and time, and various mechanical dimensions. The document also lists wiring plans, EMV mitigation measures and safety notes. This manual is written in German.
| Netzspannung | 220/240V ±10% 50/60Hz (or 380/415V ±10% 50/60Hz) |
|---|---|
| Gerätenennstrom (BR 230‑10) | 10 A |
| Bremsspannung (220/240 V) | 0 … 130 VDC |
| Bremszeit | 2 … 15 sec |
| Gewicht (BR 230‑10) | 0.5 kg |
| Umgebungs‑/Lagertemperatur | 0 °C … 45 °C |
The BR 230/400‑10 series has protection class IP 20.
The BR 230/400‑40 series has protection class IP 00.
It is recommended for motor nominal currents up to 5 A.
If the brake current is switched off immediately despite a long brake time, the brake current is set too high.
