Note:  The usage and working conditions needs to be considered    when selecting brake 
resistor. The following is a description of brake resistor selection: 
(1)Brake Resistor Calculation 
When the output current equals half the rated current of the motor, the same braking 
torque can be obtained as the rated torque of the motor,so the rough calculation of brake 
resistor is:
=
,
  is brake voltage,
  is motor rated current,to ensure that the 
inverter is not damaged, the minimum value of the brake resistor is  
  when the 
current flowing through the brake resistor is motor rated current. When selecting the 
resistance of the brake resistor, it must not be less than the below value. 
=
   
 According to the above description, the selection range of brake resistor is:
<  
   
(2)Brake Resistor Power Calculation 
 The power of brake resistor:
=
  
The brake resistor power is mainly determined by the brake utilization rate ED%. 
Because the braking time of the system is relatively short, the temperature rise of the 
braking resistor is not enough to achieve a stable temperature rise.So the principle for 
determining the brake resistor capacity is to minimize the brake resistor capacity if the 
temperature rise of the brake resistor does not exceed its allowable value (i.e. the rated 
temperature rise),The rough algorithm is as follows:
