Dangerous high voltage on the brake resistor connections and on the braking resistor
itself.
Braking resistor must be installed in a
horizontal
position for best heat dissipation
and must be fitted with its connecting bars.
Do not mount the braking resistor on the controller cabinet. While mounting, be
aware that excessive heat dissipated by the brake resistor may damage the control
panel, cause malfunctions or start a fire. The temperature of the break resistor
housing can attain 100°C during operation.
The brake resistor must be mounted in a dry location and must be fixed properly
against vibrations.
There must be minimum 30 cm of gap above and below the brake resistor to provide
air ventilation.
The capacity of brake resistors may increase due to the operating frequency of
elevator and maximum journey duration.
