Theoretical selection of regenerative resistor
Without external loading torque, the need for an external regenerative resistor can be
determined as the flow chart below

No external
resistor needed
Start
Determine the
duration of motion
cycle T (s)
Determine motor max.

User manual of EL8-EC***F AC Servo
T is the time for velocity to reach
max. velocity from 0 rpm and
decelerates back to 0rpm
Can be monitored on the front panel
Can be determined through inertia
measuring function
E1=(N+1)×Eo
Eo=J×V^2/182
J: Motor unloaded rotational inertia
V: Motor rotational velocity
N: motor load-inertia ratio
Use table 2-5 to determine the maximum
regenerative energy stored by the capacitors
