4.3 External Ballast resistors
External resistors are used to dissipate the excess of energy generated at
the power bus in a braking process of electrical motors and cannot be
dissipated by the internal resistor of the module (power supply or compact
drive). These resistors do not require external electrical supply.
ER+TH-x/x resistors with thermostat. Technical data
Independent resistors whose reference is ER+TH-  /  are external elec-
trical resistors used with power supplies and compact drives that have an
internal or external thermostat.
NOTE. This manual uses two synonyms “external Ballast resistors” and
“Crowbar resistors” to refer to external braking resistors.
