GT3000 Braking Unit
IMGT30017EN 59
The resistance and the power of the resistor depend on the drive type, inertia of moving masses, load torque and deceleration time.
Figure 6A.2.3 gives the definitions used when a motor is braked from an initial speed N1, down to a final speed N2.
The formulas for calculating the power of the resistors are also given.
