Step 5 Percent Average Load of the Internal Dynamic Brake
Resistor
Skip this calculation if an external dynamic brake resistor will be used.
AL = Average load in percent of dynamic brake resistor
P
av
= Average dynamic brake resistor dissipation calculated in
Step 4 (watts)
P

Calculate Percent Average Load of the dynamic brake resistor:
Record Percent Average Load of the dynamic brake resistor:
The calculation of AL is the Dynamic Brake Resistor load expressed as a
percent. P
db
is the sum of the Dynamic Brake dissipation capacity and is
obtained from
Table 2.A. This will give a data point for a line to be
drawn on one the curves provided in
Section 3.
