Example of External Connection

Figure 4.1 shows an example of a connection of a motor control system containing only one
dynamic braking unit.
Always use discharging resistors equal to or more than the resistance specified. If the
resistance is insufficient, the dynamic braking unit may be damaged.
To prevent overheating and burning during any malfunction of the dynamic braking unit, devise
a circuit to shut off the primary power of the inverter by connecting this circuit to the alarm
contact terminals (AL1 and AL2).
Figure 4.2 shows the connection of a thermal relay and Table 4.2 shows a list of applicable
wires.
