Chapter 4 Selecting An External Resistor for PowerFlex 7-Class Drives
Select Resistor
Select a resistor bank from the following tables or from your resistor supplier that
has all of the following:
• a resistance value that is less than the value calculated (R
db1
in ohms)
• a resistance value that is greater than the minimum resistance listed in
Appendix A
• a power value that is greater than the value calculated in
Step 3 –
Minimum Power Requirements for the Dynamic Brake Resistors on
page 16 (P
av
in watts)
• a watt-second value greater than the value calculated.
If no resistor appears in the following tables that is greater than the minimum
allowable resistance and is less than the calculated maximum resistance:
• Adjust the deceleration time of the application to fit an available resistor
package.
or
• Use the calculated data to purchase resistors locally.
or
• Consult the factory for other possible resistor packages.
Table 1 - Resistor Selection
ATTENTION: The internal dynamic brake IGBT will be damaged if the resistance
value of the resistor bank is less than the minimum resistance value of the drive.
Use
Appendix A to verify that the resistance value of the selected resistor bank is
greater than the minimum resistance of the drive.
