3.14.3 Connection of an external braking resistor
Attention!
•
Be sure to follow the installation instructions for the external braking resistor.
• The temperature sensor (bimetal switch) on the braking resistor must be wired in such a way that the power stage
is deactivated and the connected drive controller is disconnected from the mains supply if the braking resistor
overheats.
• The minimum permissible connection resistance of the drive controller must not be infringed – for technical data
see section A.2 on page 52.
• The braking resistor must be connected by a shielded cable.

Danger from electrical tension!
Danger to life! Never wire or disconnect electrical connections while they are live. Always disconnect the power before
working on the device. Dangerously high voltages of ≥ 50 V may still be present 10 minutes after the power is cut
(capacitor charging). So check that the power has been cut!
Attention!
The external braking resistor must be monitored by the control. The temperature of the braking resistor is monitored
by a temperature watchdog (Klixon). In the event of overheating the drive controller must be disconnected from the
mains supply.
