2.10 Guide to Selection of Brake Components 
It means selection of data. The user can select different resistance and 
power according to the actual situation (but the resistance shall not be 
lower than the recommended value in the table, while power can be higher). 
The selection of brake resistor depends upon the power of the motor in the 
actual application system and correlates with the system inertia, 
deceleration time and energy of position load, which shall be performed 
according to the actual situation.The higher the system inertia is, the 
shorter the deceleration time required is, while more frequent the brake is, 
leading to that the brake resistor needs higher power and lower resistance.   
2.10.1Selection of Resistance Vlaue   
Renewable electric energy consumption is almost the braking resistor 
when braking. 
According to the formula: U*U/R=Pb, 
U refers to stable Braking system of Brake voltage. (Different system has 
different brake voltage. Generally select 700V for the system 380VAC). 
Pb represents the Braking power. 
2.10.2 Selection of Braking Resistor Power 
Theoretically, braking resistor Power is consistent with braking Power.But 
the derating is 70%. 
According to the formula: 0.7*Pr=Pb*D. 
Pr refers to the resistor Power. 
D refers to braking frequency. (The regeneration process in the proportion 
of the entire working process).For example, the braking frequency of 
elevator is between 20%~30%, the winding and unwinding is between 20% 
~30%.The centrifuge is between 50%~60%, Occasional brake load is 5%. 
The General selection is 10%.
