CAUTION! OBSERVE CAUTION AS RESISTOR MAY BE HOT!
•
The Dynamic Braking Resistors
dissipate the motor rotational energy in the
form of heat. They are required for all hoist and traverse applications.
• If the dynamic braking resistor has a bad connection or is missing, the drive
DC Bus voltage may increase, resulting in an overvoltage fault.
• The dynamic braking resistor generates a lot of heat during its operation.
Place the resistor where it may dissipate this energy without damaging other
components.
