Dimensioning of braking resistors
The correct dimensioning ensures an optimum braking time. The braking torques obtained
are also listed in the tables. The data applies to braking operations from the rated speed and
moment of inertia

.
If the motor brakes from another speed, then the braking time cannot be linearly reduced.
In this case, calculate the braking time according to the formula in the section "Dimensioning
of the construction of braking resistors (Page 60)".
If the speed at the start of braking is less than the rated speed, the braking times will be
shorter or remain the same.
