Connecting the Braking Resistor
WARNING
The cables must only be connected to terminal block -X5 when the cabinet unit is
switched off and the DC link capacitors are discharged.
CAUTION
The braking resistor cables must be laid in such a way that they are short-circuit
and ground-fault proof!
The length of the connection cables between the cabinet unit and external braking
resistor must not exceed 50 m.
