7.4.3 Brake Resistor (Menu Index 3.3)
P 3.3.2 Brake Resistor Value
Set the brake resistor value in Ω. This value is used for monitoring the power to the brake resistor. P 3.3.2 Brake Resistor Value is only
active in frequency converters with an integral dynamic brake. Use this parameter for values without decimals.

P 3.3.3 Brake Resistor Power Limit
Set the monitoring limit of the brake power transmitted to the resistor. This parameter is only active in drives with an integral dynamic
brake.

To calculate the value of the P 3.3.3 Brake Power Limit, the following formula can be used.
The following are the elements of the formula:
l P
br, avg
is the average power dissipated in the brake resistor.
l R
br
is the resistance of the brake resistor.
l t
br
is the active breaking time within the 120 s period T
br
.
l U
br
is the DC voltage where the brake resistor is active.
For T4 units, the DC voltage is 770 V, which can be reduced by P 3.2.2 Brake Chopper Voltage Reduce .
NOTICE
If R
br
is not known or if T
br
is different from 120 s, the practical approach is to run the brake application, readout P 3.1.1 Brake
Energy, and then enter this value + 20% in P 3.3.3 Brake Resistor Power Limit.
Selection of a low value reduces energy loss in the motor but can also reduce resistance to sudden load changes. The P 4.4.1.3 Torque
Characteristic must be set to AEO.
