Dimensioning of the construction of braking resistors

Destruction of the braking resistors
Braking from the rated speed is not permitted any more frequently than every 2 minutes;
otherwise the resistors will be destroyed.
• Maintain a time interval of at least 2 minutes or longer between braking operations.
• When required, specify other braking cycles when ordering.
You can dimension the braking resistor so that a surface temperature of 300 °C can occur
briefly (max. 500 ms).
The external moment of inertia and the intrinsic motor moment of inertia are decisive when
dimensioning the braking resistors.
When ordering the braking resistors, determine the kinetic energy involved.

Note
In determining the r
un-on distance, consider the friction of the mechanical transmission
elements (included in the calculation as an allowance in M
B
) and the switching delay times of
the contactors.
To avoid mechanical damage to the drive, mount mechanical stops at the end of
the
absolute traversing range of the machine axes.
