Resistor braking
160
Note: A resistor other than the standard resistor can be used provided that:
• its resistance is not lower than the resistance of the standard resistor.
WARNING! Never use a brake resistor with a resistance below the value specified
for the particular drive / brake chopper / resistor combination. The drive and the
chopper are not able to handle the overcurrent caused by the low resistance.
• the resistance does not restrict the braking capacity needed, that is,
where
• the heat dissipation capacity (E
R
) is sufficient for the application (see step 3
above).
Optional brake chopper and resistor(s) for the ACS800-01/U1
The nominal ratings for dimensioning the brake resistors for the ACS800-01 and
ACS800-U1 are given below at an ambient temperature of 40 °C (104 °F).
P
max
maximum power generated by the motor during braking
U
DC
voltage over the resistor during braking, e.g.,
1.35 · 1.2 · 415 V DC (when supply voltage is 380 to 415 V AC),
1.35 · 1.2 · 500 V DC. (when supply voltage is 440 to 500 V AC) or
1.35 · 1.2 · 690 V DC (when supply voltage is 525 to 690 V AC).
