This is the result of the calculation outlined in Step 6. This point is
plotted at zero seconds moving up vertically to this percentage.
Figure 2.2 Resistor Power Curve
AL and PL are plotted and connected with a dotted line. This is the Motor
Power Curve. If any portion of this curve lies to the right of the constant
temperature power curve of the Dynamic Brake Resistor, the resistor
element temperature will exceed the operating temperature limit. The
drive will protect the resistor and shut down the Chopper transistor. The
drive will then likely trip on an overvoltage fault.
