ABSTRACT:
A frequency converter assembly comprising a direct-voltage circuit and brake chopper means, the direct-voltage circuit including a first branch (DC+) and a second branch (DC−), and the brake chopper means including a first terminal (BRK+), a second terminal (BRK−), a brake chopper switch (S1) and control means (2). The brake chopper switch (S1) is arranged in its closed position to provide a braking connection, in which the first branch (DC+) is electrically connected to the first terminal (BRK+) and the second branch (DC−) is electrically connected to the second terminal (BRK−). The assembly is provided with a first operating state where the control means (2) are arranged to control the brake chopper switch (S1) selectively to the closed position and the open position in response to the desired power supply direction of the direct-voltage circuit. The assembly is further provided with a second operating state where the control means (2) are arranged to maintain the brake chopper switch (S1) continuously in the closed position.
