3.  Any damage to the drive or other equipment caused by using brake resistors and brake modules that are not 
provided by Delta voids the warranty. 
4.  Consider environmental safety factors when installing the brake resistors. If you use the minimum resistance 
value, consult local dealers for the power calculation.   
5.  When using more than two brake units, the equivalent resistor value of the parallel brake unit cannot be less 
than the  value  in the  column  “Minimum Resistor Value (Ω)”.  Read  the  wiring  information  in the  brake  unit 
instruction sheet thoroughly prior to  operation.  Visit  the  following links to  get  the instruction sheets for the 
wiring in the brake unit:

6.  This chart is for normal usage; if the AC motor drive is applied for frequent braking, it is suggested to enlarge 
2–3 times of the Watts.     
7.  Thermal Overload Relay (TOR), for 230V / 460V / 690V models: 
Choosing a thermal overload relay is based on whether its overload capability is appropriate for the CP2000. 
The standard braking capacity of the CP2000 is 10%ED (Tripping time=10s). As shown in the figure below, a 
460V, 110 kW CP2000 has a braking current of 126 A (refer to the tables in this section), so it can use the 
thermal  overload  relay  with  a  rated  current  of  50  A.  The  property  of  each  thermal  relay  may  vary  among 
different manufacturer, please carefully read specification.
