Dynamic Braking Option Overload Protection

To prevent overheating the dynamic braking option, set a sequence to de-energize the drive at the trip contacts of the
thermal overload relay.
Figure 3.73 Power Supply Interrupt for Overheat Protection Example
WARNING! Fire Hazard. When you use a braking unit, use a thermal relay on the braking resistors and set a fault contact output for
the braking resistor unit to disconnect drive main power through an input contactor. Incorrect braking circuit protection can cause the
resistors to become too hot and cause serious injury or death.
