Bonitron Overvoltage Solutions aid in preventing drive overvoltage faults by dissipating excess DC voltage.

Variable Speed Drives are used to control the speed of electric motors that drive processes. Most moving processes have inertia that becomes a factor when slowing or stopping the process. A motor connected to a process load will be either "motoring" or "overhauling". A motoring motor is converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. An overhauling motor is being driven by the load and is converting mechanical energy in to electricity, acting as a generator. An overhauling load is creating power that, if left alone, could potentially cause an overvoltage fault in the drive. If this happens the drive/motor can lose control of the process. The overvoltage fault can be avoided by utilizing Bonitron Overvoltage Solutions.
Line Regen Solutions return excess drive DC energy to the AC line where it can be used by other equipment in order to reduce utility demand and cost. Line Regens can be installed in drive cabinet.

Braking Transistors act as a switch that turn on before DC voltage reaches the connected drive's DC trip point. This allows excess power to be dissipated into a connected resistor/load bank.

Braking Resistors dissipate excess energy as heat and can be used with Bonitron Braking Transistors or drive brakes when correctly sized. For high-duty applications, consider a Line Regen.

Servo Motor Brakes act as a secondary brake to stop the servo motor in case of drive or power failure. They also isolate the motor from its power source once it is stopped for increased safety.
