15.10 External Brake Resistor
15.10.1 Braking Ratio
Brake resistors with different power ratings are available to dissipate braking en-
ergy when the frequency converter is in generator mode.
The tables below list the optimal combination of frequency converter, brake re-
sistor and the number of components required to operate one frequency con-
verter with respect to a given moderating ratio OT.
OT (On Time percentage) Braking ratio
Tb Braking time
