1/OPERATION DESCRIPTION OF ERS 2G
Fig. 6 shows the block diagram of an electrically operated elevator with a variable
voltage drive (VVVF).

Depending on the control variables, the load and the selected trajectory, the lift may
consume energy or recover energy. In the first case, the lift absorbs energy from the
mains, as it can be seen in Fig. 7.a, whereas in the second case, the energy that the
motor generates while braking is dissipated in a braking resistor as heat, Fig. 7.b.
