Figure 18 - External Brake Resistor Circuitry
ATTENTION: PowerFlex drives do not offer protection for externally mounted
brake resistors. A risk of fire exists if external braking resistors are not protected.
External resistor packages must be self-protected from over temperature or the
protective circuit show below, or equivalent, must be supplied.
