C.12. Connecting Regenerative Resistors
The method for connecting regenerative resistors is shown below.
Disconnect the wire between the servo amplifier’s B2 and B3 terminals and
connect an external regenerative resistor between the B1 and B2 terminals.

! Calculating the Regenerative Power Capacity
Simple Calculation Method
When driving a servomotor normally along the horizontal axis, check
the external regenerative resistor requirements using the calculation
method shown below.
Servo Amplifiers with Capacity of 400W or Less
Servo amplifiers with a capacity of 400W or less do not have built-in
regenerative resistors. The energy that can be absorbed by capacitors is
shown in the following table. If the rotational energy in the servo
system exceeds these values, then connect a regenerative resistor
externally.
