Shunt Resistors and Bus Capacitors

Reducing power consumption and failure rates in multi-axis production machines

Regenerative energy can increase bus voltage to damaging levels when high-inertia, low-friction axes undergo fast deceleration from high speeds. This application note explains how properly sizing the shunt resistors or adding capacitor banks to the power bus enables the system to absorb the excess energy and optimizes system performance.
