3. Check that the chosen resistor can tolerate the overload
Use the maximum time tripping curve to determine the time that corresponds to a factor
(F) of 7.3
From the maximum time tripping curve you get a time of approximately 10 seconds for a
factor (F) of 7.3.
Check that the braking resistor can tolerate 9.2A for 10 seconds.
5.4 External soft start resistor
Table 5-6 Resistor values
5.4.1 External soft start resistor protection
To protect the soft start resistor from becoming damaged in a failure situation a suitable
fuse needs to be fitted in series with the resistor. The fuse must meet the specification
as detailed below.
Table 5-7 Fuse values
Alternative fuse types.
An alternative to the fuses recommended in Table 5-7 can be used providing the fuse
time vs current characteristic lies between the curves shown in the graphs below and
the voltage rating is as per the value shown in Table 5-7.
