Multiple braking resistors
In case two or more braking resistors are connected to braking choppers of
the drive modules, the same conditions as above must still be fulfilled.
•
The resistance
R
br(i)
of each individual braking resistor must be at least
R
br,min
according to braking chopper data of the concerned ACSM1 drive
module
•
The resistance value
R
br(i)
of each individual braking resistor should also
fulfil the peak braking power requirements. In the following calculations
the value of
U
dc
is 840V DC.

Braking resistor types
Resistor types JBR-xx for dynamic load cycles are available for ACSM1
drive modules. Please see ACSM1 hardware manual for the detailed data.
