← TechnologyWhich risk increases when variable-frequency drive (VFD)-controlled motor's braking resistor's isolating breaker fails open when regenerative braking is enabled?
A)Motor's output frequency instability
B)DC bus overvoltage tripping✓
C)Excessive harmonic current generation
D)Increased rotor slip frequency
💡 Explanation
A failed open braking resistor breaker prevents dissipation of regenerative energy via dynamic braking; this causes a DC bus *overvoltage* because mechanical energy converts to electrical energy faster than the inverter’s capacitors can handle it. Therefore, overvoltage tripping increases, rather than frequency instability under normal operation.
