Appendix B External Power-Dump Resistor Selection - 93 -
Resistor Specifications—Rotary Motors
Having determined the amount of energy to dump (E
R
), you can then
calculate the resistor specifications.
• Maximum resistance
• Peak dissipation
• Average dissipation
Maximum Resistance
This calculation determines the maximum value of resistance needed for the
external power-dump resistor. We recommend that you select a lower value
resistance, typically in the 22 to 100 ohm range.
Important — It is possible to overload a drive/controller or the combination
of a drive/controller and power dump resistor.
If, at the end of the calculations, you find the required resistor is less than
allowed for your specific Aries Controller model, or requires a wattage rating
greater than the rated resistors available, do not use the unit in your
application.
Drive/controller models AR-04CE, AR-08CE, and AR-13CE require external
resistance values of 22 Ohms or greater.
