Product Description

SAF offers the OP-STOP DC Injection (DCI) brake module, a full-featured braking unit for smooth AC motor braking. While SAF starters help to “softly” start an AC motor and gradually increase the speed to reduce wear and enhance performance, OP-STOP SAF brakes provide safe and rapid AC motor braking to enhance production results as well as safety. OP-STOP DCI brakes provide adjustable braking using closed-loop current control. These brakes do not wear as do mechanical brakes, and high levels of braking torque can be delivered through controlled DC injection in two motor phases.

As high-torque DC brake modules, these solutions are ideal for motors as large as 800 horsepower across the 200-to 600-volt range. Current-regulating features deliver smooth operation to any AC induction-type motor requiring high-torque braking. These solutions can also handle high-inertia loads and generally stop them in three seconds and one minute to promote less wear.

SAF designed the Opal Op-Stop to be compatible with across-the-line or solid-state soft starters and offer multiple configuration choices. Install one in your facility for greater efficiency, higher throughput and reduced maintenance needs.

Material Information for SAF OP-Stop DCI

The SAF Op-Stop models feature:

• 100% to 300% torque adjustment and full-load current

Benefits of SAF DC Injection Brakes

SAF DC injection brakes deliver organizations numerous benefits, including:

• Less standby time and increased production output
• Easier installation and setup, with increased uptime
• Safety-focused, rapid AC motor braking
• No moving parts to wear for money savings when choosing these over mechanical braking
• Reduced need for spare parts due to all OP-STOPs having a common control card — even more savings!
• Availability as a stand-alone DC injection brake unit or as an add-on with the Opal low-voltage starter
• AC motor braking for many types of industrial applications
