Setting the Regenerative Resistor Capacity

The regenerative resistor consumes regenerative energy that is generated by the Servomotor,
e.g., when the Servomotor decelerates.
If an External Regenerative Resistor is connected, you must set Pn600 (Regenerative Resistor
Capacity) and Pn603 (Regenerative Resistance).
Pn600
Pn603
Set the regenerative resistor capacity to a value that is consistent with the allowable capacity of
the External Regenerative Resistor. The setting depends on the cooling conditions of the Exter-
nal Regenerative Resistor.
• For self-cooling (natural convection cooling): Set the parameter to a maximum 20% of the
capacity (W) of the actually installed regenerative resistor.
• For forced-air cooling: Set the parameter to a maximum 50% of the capacity (W) of the actu-
ally installed regenerative resistor.
Example
Note: 1. An A.320 alarm will be displayed if the setting is not suitable.
2. The default setting of 0 specifies that the SERVOPACK's built-in regenerative resistor or Yaskawa's Regen-

 If you connect an External Regenerative Resistor, set Pn600 and Pn603 to suitable values.
If a suitable value is not set, A.320 alarms (Regenerative Overload) will not be detected cor-
rectly, and the External Regenerative Resistor may be damaged or personal injury or fire may
result.
 When you select an External Regenerative Resistor, make sure that it has a suitable capac-
ity.
There is a risk of personal injury or fire.

For a self-cooling 100-W External Regenerative Resistor, set Pn600 to 2 (×10 W) (100 W ×
20% = 20 W).
erative Resistor Unit is being used.
1. When an External Regenerative Resistor is used at the normal rated load ratio, the resistor
temperature increases to between 200°C and 300°C. Always apply derating. Consult the
manufacturer for the resistor's load characteristics.
2. For safety, use an External Regenerative Resistor with a thermoswitch.
