Step 1 — Determine the Total Inertia
Step 2 — Calculate the Peak Braking Power
Compare the peak braking power to that of the rated motor power. If the
peak braking power is greater that 1.5 times that of the motor, then the
deceleration time (t
3
- t
2
) needs to be increased so that the drive does not
go into current limit. (This is assuming that 150% of motor power is less
than or equal to 150% drive capacity.)
