8.5.8 Heat dissipation
External braking resistors can generate a great amount of heat. That's
why, sometimes, depending on the temperature of the installation area, it
may be necessary to evacuate the heat by means of fans.
INFORMATION. If a fan is required due the conditions of the location of
the installed resistor, remember that FAGOR lists external braking
resistors with a fan in its catalog.
WARNING.
HEAT DANGER. DO NOT TOUCH the surface of these resistors.
Remember that they can sometimes exceed temperatures of 300°C/572
°F. If it is installed in an easily accessible location, precautions must be
taken to prevent unintentional contact. Also avoid heat sensitive items
(cables, etc.) from coming into contact with the surface to avoid damaging
or destroying these elements and/or causing other more dangerous
situations.
