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.
Outside look
Independent resistors whose model is ER+TH-  /  are external electrical
resistors used with power supplies and compact drives that have an internal
or external thermostat.
Technical data
NOTE. This manual uses two synonyms “EXTERNAL BALLAST
RESISTORS” and “CROWBAR RESISTORS” to refer to external braking
resistors.

WARNING. HEAT DANGER. DO NOT TOUCH the surface of these
resistors. Remember that it may reach temperatures around 400°C/752°F.
If it is installed to be easily accessible, precautions must be taken to prevent
unintentional contact. Also avoid heat sensitive items (cables, etc.) from
coming into contact with the surface to avoid damaging or destroying these
elements and/or causing other more dangerous situations.
