Corbin, a braking resistor is typical for industrial variable frequency drives (VFD) and older SCR drives. A VFD connected to a utility service is usually not allowed to regen into the line. As an example. If one installs a VFD on a large rotating mass such as a molder. When the mold breaks

Re: [EVDL] Regen on AC Inverter

I can conclude from what you say that during regen mode none of the IGBTs are energized. Therefore, only during drive operation are the IGBTs switched. Since the car is slowing down during deceleration, the motor RPMs are decreasing. At some point, the voltage generated by the motor will dro
