8.2.4 Selection of the brake resistors
The recommended Lenze brake resistors are adapted to the corresponding controller (with
regard to 150 % of regenerative power). They are suitable for most of the applications.
For special applications, e.g. centrifuges, the brake resistor must meet the following
criteria:
