When fixing the braking resistor, use screws, nuts and washers
*) This type of braking resistor comprises two resistors which must be connected to each other in parallel on
the plant/ system side.
5.4 MOUNTING
The braking resistor for all modules is connected at terminals DCP/R1 and R2. Since it generates heat, it
should be mounted to the side of the Power Modules.
The braking resistors for the PM240-2 Power Modules in frame sizes FSA and FSB are designed as base
components. If the PM240-2 Power Modules of the FSA or FSB frame size are operated without a line
reactor, the braking resistors can also be installed under the Power Modules.
The braking resistors for the PM240-2 Power Modules of the FSC to FSF frame sizes should be placed
outside the control cabinet or the switchgear room to lead the resulting heat loss away from the Power
Modules. This reduces the level of air conditioning required.
The braking resistors can be installed horizontally or vertically. The power connections on vertically installed
resistors, must be at the bottom.
