The longest operation time for 10% ED is 10 sec. (on: 10 sec.; off: 90 sec.)
**
See Brake Performance Curve below for the relation between Running Time, ED(%) vs Braking Current.
***
The calculation of the maximum braking torque is based on a 4-pole motor (1800rpm)
****
For the heat dissipation, a resistor of 400W or lower should be fixed to the frame and keep the surface below 250° C (400° F).
As for a resistor of 1000W and above, the surface temperature should be kept below 600
° C. If the temperature is over the
resistor’s temperature limit, it will be necessary to add heat dissipating system or increase resistor’s power
NOTE:
1. Definition for Brake Usage ED%
Explanation: The definition of the brake usage ED (%) is for assurance of enough time for the brake unit and brake resistor
to dissipate away heat generated by braking. When the brake resistor heats up, the resistance would increase with temper-
ature, and brake torque would decrease accordingly. Recommended cycle time is one minute.
For safety concern, install an overload relay (O.L) between the brake unit and the brake resistor together with the magnetic
contactor (MC) prior to the drive to protect the drive from abnormal functions. The purpose of installing the thermal over-
load relay is to protect the brake resistor from damages due to frequent brakes, or caused by brake unit’s continuous
conductions resulted from unusual high input voltage. Under such circumstance, turn off the power to prevent damaging the
brake resistor.
