Brake resistor assemblies must be rated to absorb both peak braking power during deceleration and the average power over the
complete cycle.

Obtain information on the peak power rating and the average power rating of the resistors from the resistor manufacturer. If this
information is not available, a large safety margin must be incorporated to ensure that the resistors are not overloaded.
By connecting these resistors in series and in parallel the required braking capacity can be selected for the application.
The minimum resistance of the combination and maximum dc link voltage must be as specified in Appendix F: IMPORTANT
“Technical Specifications” - Internal Dynamic Brake Switch.
