11.2.1 Procedure
The following procedure and data should be used to calculate the resistor(s) required:
1. Calculate the total DC bus capacitance of the system (refer to Table 11-1).
2. Calculate the energy stored in the systems DC bus capacitance at the maximum supply voltage.
3. Calculate the minimum number of resistors required to meet this energy value (round up to the nearest one).
4. Calculate the series parallel arrangement of resistors ensuring the total resistance is the minimum values given in Table 11-2.
DC bus capacitor energy is calculated from 0.5 x C
N
x 1.2 x V
2
BUS
. Where C
N
is the nominal DC bus capacitance (Table 11-1) and the 1.2 factor
allows for capacitance tolerance. V
BUS
is calculated from 2 x V
LL
(+10 %) where V
LL
is the nominal line to line AC voltage.
