5-6-7 Selecting for External Regeneration Resistor 
In applications where a high inertia load is stopped rapidly, motor will generate an energy, which is 
regenerate power back to the servo drive ( Regeneration energy) 
(1)  Short deceleration time with heavy loads.  
(2)  In vertical load applications.  
(3)  High inertia rotary load applied to the motor shaft.  
Part of the regeneration power will be absorbed by the drive main smoothing capacitors 
If there is too much regeneration power which can not be totally absorbed by the capacitor then 
regeneration resistors can be used to absorb the excess power. 
Built-in Regeneration Resistor specification is as below table.

Built-in Regeneration Resistor 
The Regeneration Resistor which is built-in this device can absorb the Regeneration Power from 
acceleration and deceleration running or Vertical Loading. 
But for applications that the large load inertia causes the motor shaft to rotate, an external regeneration 
Resistor must be installed to protect the servo drive otherwise the servo drive can not function correctly. 
Select the resistor according to the specified values and if installing regeneration resistors in a parallel 
way to have more power absorb capacibility. 
Ensure that the total resistance value does not smaller than the minimum resistance listed in 
the table above.
