DY5 brakes can be applied to most full voltage electromechanical starters and solid state soft starts, and can be ordered as an installed option on a Saftronics soft starter. DY5 Digital Electronic Motor Brakes utilize a microprocessor and 4-SCR Full Wave Bridge to apply regulated DC current to the stator of an AC induction motor causing controlled braking. The DY5 employs zero speed sensing to automatically remove braking current as soon as the motor stops, thus minimizing motor heating and idle time before restarting. The DY5 is designed specifically for applications requiring smooth, rapid braking to reduce motor stopping time and help meet OSHA safety standards. Universal Input Voltage allows the DY5 to operate at line voltages from 200 to 600 VAC and line frequencies between 45 and 65 Hz. PC programmable for custom applications and braking curves. NOTE: Electronic indication should never be used as the only indication that it is safe to proceed. Zero speed should be mechanically or visually verified and the machine locked out before proceeding with any operation in which movement of the machine would pose a risk.
