Table 4-18 Heatsink mounted braking resistor data
* To keep the temperature of the resistor below 70 °C (158 °F) in a 30 °C (86 °F) ambient, the average power rating is 50 W for size 3, 100 W for size 
4 and 5. The above parameter settings ensure this is the case.
Braking resistor overload protection parameter settings
Failure to observe the following information may damage the resistor.
The drive software contains an overload protection function for a braking resistor. On size 3, 4 and 5 this function is enabled at default 
to protect the heatsink mounted resistor. Below are the parameter settings.
For more information on the braking resistor software overload protection, see Pr 10.030, Pr 10.031 and Pr 10.061 full descriptions in 
the Parameter Reference Guide. 
If the resistor is to be used at more than half of its average power rating, the drive cooling fan must be set to full speed by setting 
Pr 06.045 to 11.
