Resistor braking

Protection of frame sizes R2 to R5
It is highly recommended to equip the drive with a main contactor for safety reasons.
Wire the contactor so that it opens in case the resistor overheats. This is essential
for safety since the drive will not otherwise be able to interrupt the main supply if the
chopper remains conductive in a fault situation.
Below is a simple example wiring diagram.
