5.4.3 Dimensioning of braking resistors
The correct dimensioning ensures an optimum braking time. The braking torques obtained are
also listed in the tables. The data applies to braking operations from the rated speed and
moment of inertia J
external
= J
Mot
.
If the motor brakes from another speed, then the braking time cannot be linearly reduced.
In this case, calculate the braking time according to the formula in the section "Dimensioning of
the construction of braking resistors (Page 75)".
If the speed at the start of braking is less than the rated speed, the braking times will be shorter
or remain the same.
The data in the following tables is calculated for rated values according to the data sheet. The
variance during production as well as iron saturation have not been taken into account here.
Higher currents and torques than those calculated can occur as a result of the saturation.
WARNING
Risk of re caused by continuous overload
If the external braking resistor is continuously overloaded, for example as the result of a
defective braking chopper, this can cause an explosion or re - resulting in death or severe
injury and/or could cause the housing to melt.
• Use only braking resistors that are intrinsically safe.
