K is set to a value around 50%.
Pr indicates the power of the braking resistor.
D indicates the braking frequency, that is, percentage of the regenerative process to
the whole working process.
The following equations are obtained according to the preceding two formulas:
K x Pr = Pb x D = U x U/R x D
Pr = (U x U x D)/(R x K)
The braking resistor power Pr can be calculated accordingly.
K is the derating coefficient of the braking resistor. A small value of K prevents the
braking resistor from overheat. Increase K moderately if heat can be well dissipated,
but in no case should K exceed 50%. Failure to comply may result in braking resistor
overheat and fire.
Braking frequency (D) is determined by applications. Typical values of braking
frequency in different applications are listed in "
