Never use a brake resistor with a resistance below the minimum value specified
for the particular drive. The drive and the internal chopper are not able to handle
the overcurrent caused by the low resistance.
Increase the power of the braking resistor properly in the frequent braking
situation (the frequency usage ratio is more than 10%).
C.8.2 Select the brake resistor cables
Use a shielded cable to the resistor cable.
C.8.3 Place the brake resistor
Install all resistors in a place where they will cool.
The materials near the brake resistor must be non-flammable. The surface
temperature of the resistor is high. Air flowing from the resistor is of hundreds of
degrees Celsius. Protect the resistor against contact.
Installation of the braking resistor:
The 030G/037P and lower models only need external braking resistors.
PB and (+) are the wiring terminals of the braking resistors.
