8.11 Brake rectifier connection
Use only contactors of utilization category AC-3 for K11 and K12.
Switch off the brake on the DC and AC sides with:
• All hoist applications.
• Drives which require a rapid brake response time.
If the brake rectifier is installed in the control cabinet, route the connecting leads be-
tween the brake rectifier and the brake separately from other power cables. Routing to-
gether with other cables is only permitted if the other cables are shielded.
