  • Page 35: Adding An External Brake Resistor

    The user supplied temperature sensitive device must be rated to a current equal or more than the maximum deceleration current. Refer section 12.5 for wiring an external temperature sensitive switch to the drive. © ElectroCraft 2018 CPP-A12V80A-SA-USB Technical Reference...
  • Page 36: 12.3 Selecting External Brake Resistor

    For properly sizing the resistor, a complex calculation requiring detailed information about the application and load is needed. This data is often not known or difficult to obtain, so ElectroCraft has provided the following guideline as a starting point which has proven sufficient in the majority of applications. If further support is needed or this recommendation does not provide the required performance please contact ElectroCraft.
  • Page 37: 12.3.2 Calculating Power Value Of The Braking Resistor

    The selected power rating for any external brake resistor is application dependent. Usually a heavy-duty wire wound resistor will work best. © ElectroCraft 2018 CPP-A12V80A-SA-USB Technical Reference...

    On voltage (set in the configuration software). ElectroCraft recommends connecting a capacitor of 100 μF per each ampere deceleration current across J1 pin 1 and pin 2 as shown in section 12.5. For example, the application given in section 12.3.2 has a deceleration current of 12 A, so it will need a 1200 μF capacitor.
