A thermal protection system is provided for the braking resistor. If BrakingResistorRatedPower (10.030) is set to zero this protection system is disabled and the
BrakingResistorThermalAccumulator (10.039) is held at zero. If braking resistor thermal protection is required the BrakingResistorRatedPower
(10.030), BrakingResistorThermalTimeConstant (10.031) and BrakingResistorResistance (10.061) should be set up with the braking resistor parameters. The
thermal time constant of the resistor can be calculated from the single pulse energy rating (E in Joules) and continuous power rating (P in Watts) of the resistor.
BrakingResistorThermalTimeConstant (10.031) = τ = E / P
The braking resistor is protected with a single time constant model as shown below.
The drive monitors the power flowing into the braking resistor and updates the BrakingResistorThermalAccumulator (10.039). If bit 1 of ActionOnTripDetection
(10.037) = 0 and the accumulator reaches 100% an BrakeRTooHot trip is initiated. If bit 1 of ActionOnTripDetection (10.037) = 1 and the accumulator reaches
100% the braking IGBT is disabled until the accumulator falls below 95.0%.

If ExternalTrip (10.032) is set to one an ExternalTrip.003 is initiated. A digital input can be routed to ExternalTrip (10.032) to provide an external trip input function.

If NumberOfAuto-resetAttempts (10.034) = 0 then no auto-reset attempts are made. Any other value will cause the drive to automatically reset following a trip for
the number of times programmed after a delay defined by Auto-resetDelay (10.035) subject to the minimum reset time allowed for the type of trip. Note that for some
