Selecting Braking Resistors for Internal Braking Units
You can add one or more resistors to your inverter configuration to increase braking
torque performance. The tables below lists the resistor types for inverter models with
internal braking units. Tables for inverters with external braking units are on the next two
pages.
• Total Ohms – lists the resistance value of the resistor or, if using multiple resistors,
their combined resistance
• Total Watts – lists the power dissipation of the resistor or, if using multiple resistors,
their combined power dissipation
• Maximum Duty Cycle – the maximum allowable percentage of braking time over any
100-second interval to avoid overheating the resistor(s)
• Maximum Braking Torque – the maximum braking torque that the inverter / resistor
combination can deliver
The table below lists 200V-class inverter models
with built-in braking units. Depending on the
desired braking torque or on the inverter model,
the resistor selection specifies multiple resistors
in a parallel or series combination. The example
diagram shows a parallel configuration. Please
refer to the braking resistor documentation for
detailed wiring diagrams.
