How a frequency inverter will perform DC-Brake on an Induction motor?

In DC breaking, frequency inverter injects DC current in stator of Motor & with that DC current Stator will try to lock the rotor. There will be stationary field instead of rotating field in between stator & Rotor of Motor.

This is DC breaking i.e. DC injection, this application being used in cranes for increasing starting torque & in some handloom machine for breaking applications where mechanical breaks are not available or suitable.

DC injection braking, which might be a better term for what the question asked about, can be done by chopping basically the half cycle, or if connecting the DC bus, one polarity (DC) on one or 2 phases to the third. The voltage is going to be relatively low compared to rated voltage depending on torque you are looking for (and current rating of the modules). From memory, I think we are talking 1/4 or less voltage to keep the current down. (I don't commonly calculate that any more). You need to worry about the motor and the modules. The value of DC injection braking, as a means of braking, is questionable but maybe you have good reason for wanting it. Keep in mind it is NOT a holding brake. Torque decreases with speed. Initial current is high. Depending on duty cycle is careful using one phase because uneven heating in the motor, especially if you can drive the current value above rated. Probably the advantage is that I don't think the DC bus is pumped up like it is if you simply decelerate by lowering the frequency. One way you dump heat energy into the motor and the other into a breaking resistor or regen it back to the grid. But at the same time you have limited torque for the device current available, either way I guess. This would be a good calculation study for someone to determine which is more effective for a given current. I think it will get more torque decelerating.
