1. Estimation of the regenerative power
The regenerative power must be calculated for each deceleration phase of each motor.
with: P
LOAD
: Power regenerated by the load during the deceleration phase in W
J
TOTAL
: Motor + load inertia of the axis reflected to the motor shaft in kg.m²
n
1
: Rotation speed at the beginning of the deceleration phase in RPM
n
2
: Rotation speed at the end of the deceleration phase in RPM
t
DEC
: Deceleration time in s
T
LOAD
: Torque applied by the load on the motor shaft at the beginning of the deceleration phase in Nm
P
MOTOR
: Power regenerated on the motor shaft in W
COUPLING
: Efficiency of the mechanical coupling (gearbox). If no gearbox is used,
COUPLING

P
JOULE
: Losses in the motor windings in W
R
MOTOR
: Winding resistance measured between two phases of the motor in
I
MOTOR
: Average current in one phase of the motor during the deceleration phase in A
P

: Average power managed by the drive during the deceleration phase in W.
2. Choice of the ohmic value
with: R

: Maximum of all P
ELEC
calculated for all motors and for all deceleration phases in W.
3. Average power
The required average power must be calculated to correctly choose the size of the braking resistor and to take
into account the heat dissipation effect in the near environment.
with: P
I²t
: Maximum average power allowed by the braking I²t function in W
t
ON
: Conduction time allowed by the braking I²t function in ms
U
BRAKING
: Triggering threshold of the braking system in V
R
BRAKING
: Braking resistor in
