Evaluating the PowerFlex 7-Class Internal Resistor Chapter 3
If the line connecting AL and PL lies entirely to the left of the Power Curve, then the
capability of the internal resistor is sufficient for the proposed application.
Figure 3 - Example of an Acceptable Resistor Power Curve
If any portion of the line connecting AL and PL lies to the right of the Power Curve,
then the capability of the internal resistor is insufficient for the proposed
application.
• Increase deceleration time (t
3
– t
2
) until the line connecting AL and PL lies
entirely to the left of the Power Curve
or
• Go to
Chapter 4 and select an external resistor from the tables
