WARNING!
Do not use a brake resistor with a resistance below the minimum value
specified for the particular drive. The drive and the internal chopper are not
able to handle the overcurrent caused by the low resistance.

Parameter settings for external braking chopper and resistor
Disable the overvoltage control of the drive with parameter 30.30 Overvoltage
control.
Disable parameter 43.06 Braking chopper function as parameter group 43 Brake
chopper is used for internal braking chopper and resistor only.
