Description
Under normal circumstances, the braking energy is supplied back to the line. If a controlled
stop is also required in the event of a power failure, however, additional braking units can be
provided. The braking units comprise a chopper power unit and a load resistor, which must
be attached externally. To monitor the braking resistance, a thermostatic switch integrated in
the shutdown train of the cabinet unit is installed in the braking resistor.

4.9.11.1 Installing the braking resistor
Installing the braking resistor
The braking resistor should not be installed in the vicinity of the converter. The installation
location must fulfill the following conditions:
● The braking resistors are only suitable for floor mounting.
● The maximum cable length between the cabinet unit and braking resistor is50 m.
● Sufficient space must be available for dissipating the energy converted by the braking
resistor.
● A sufficient distance from flammable objects must be maintained.
● The braking resistor must be installed as a free-standing unit.
● Objects must not be placed on or anywhere above the braking resistor.
● The braking resistor should not be installed underneath fire detection systems, since
these could be triggered by the resulting heat.
● For outdoor installation, a hood should be provided to protect the braking resistor against
precipitation (in accordance with degree of protection IP20).
