Assuming that the full power discharge time is much shorter than the full power discharge period (which is normally the case) the values for Pr 11.60
and Pr 11.61 can be calculated as follows:
Full power discharge time (Pr 11.62)
Where Energy is the total energy that can be absorbed by the external resistor when its initial temperature is ambient temperature.
⇒
If the cycle shown in the diagram above is followed repeatedly, where the external resistor is heated to its maximum temperature and then cools to
ambient:
The average power in the resistor
where Tp is the full power discharge period (Pr 11.63)
⇒
⇒
⇒
The temperature of the external resistor is monitored by the temperature accumulators (Pr 11.63). When parameter Pr 11.62 reaches 100 % the drive
will trip ‘O.ht3’.
This parameter defines the external resistance installed to the drive by the user. This parameter is used in calculating the power dissipated and
modelling the temperature of the resistor.
If this is not entered correctly the power dissipated, and therefore the thermal protection model for the resistor will be incorrect. This could lead to the
resistor being operated beyond its thermal limits.
