ABB recommends that you also wire the thermal switch to a digital input of the drive,
and configure the input to cause a fault trip at resistor overtemperature indication.

Brake resistor thermal switch4
Digital input. Monitors the brake resistor thermal switch.5
■ Mechanical installation
All brake resistors must be installed outside the drive. Follow the resistor manufacturer’s
instructions.
■ Electrical installation
Checking the insulation of the assembly
Follow the instructions given in section Brake resistor assembly for R1…R3 (page 115)
or Brake resistor assembly for R1…R3 (page 165) (North America).
Connection diagram
