Why is there unequal heating of the brake resistor during parallel operation of several brake units in Lenze Control Unit?

If you notice unequal heating of the brake resistor during parallel operation of several brake units, it could be due to several reasons: * Brake units connected in parallel must not be connected to the terminals +UG, -UG of the controller(s). Connect the brake unit to the terminals +UG, -UG of the controller(s). * The brake resistor might not be connected. Connect the brake resistor. * Synchronization might not be connected. Connect the synchronization. * The thresholds of the brake units connected in parallel (switches S1, S2) might be set differently. Adapt the thresholds of the brake unit and the controller to the mains voltage. * The configuration of the brake units as master/slave might not be correct. Correct the configuration.
