8.3.4 Rating for Lenze brake resistors
To decelerate greater moments of inertia or with a longer operation in generator mode an
external brake resistor is required. It converts braking energy into heat.
The brake resistors (IP20) recommended in the table are designed for a 1.5-fold
regenerative power. The cycle time is 150 s and contains a maximum braking time of 15 s
and a minimum recovery time (break) of 135 s.
ƒ The brake resistors are equipped with a thermostat (potential-free NC contact,
switching capacity: AC 250 V, 0.5 A).
ƒ To increase the power, brake resistors can be connected in parallel or in series.
– The resistance for the controller must not fall below the lowest permissible value.
– The thermostat of several brake resistors at a controller must always be connected
in series.
