17.4.1 Dimensioning of Brake Resistor
The following values must be known for dimensioning:
−
−
−
P
R =
The switch-on threshold U
switched on. The switch-on threshold can be set, as described above, via parameter
Trigger Threshold
Caution!
If the calculated resistance R
values, the lower resistance is to be selected.
In the case of infrequent short braking operations, typical values of the duty cycle DC
are at 10 %, for long braking operations ( ≥ 120 s) typical values are at 100%. In the
case of frequent deceleration and acceleration operations, it is recommended that the
duty cycle DC be calculated according to the above formula.
The calculated values for P
for determining the resistor-specific permanent power.
