CT load resistors (burden resistors)
The burden resistors, normally mounted on card P at terminals X56, X57 - X58, X59 (that are internally connected in parallel), set the
maximum delivered current la
M
.
The voltage between positive terminal X57 (or X59) and negative terminal X56 (or X58) is proportional to the current: 2·V (average)
corresponds to the maximum converter current.
For the burden resistors calculation it is necessary to introduce the following definitions:
IaM = maximum converter output current
:
maximum current value to be delivered in permanent conditions by the converter
(parameter [06.53]).
IaN = rated current of the motor
:
max current to be drawn in permanent conditions by the motor (parameter
[05.03]).
NOTE: The Ia
M
current can be higher than the Ia
N
, provided that is in accordance with the motor load cycles.

Where N
S
is the equivalent Current Tranformers turns ratio connected to terminals X10A-1… X10A-4.
Rp is the equivalent burden resistance (in Ohm). Such resistance can be obtained by soldering two resistors on the turrets x56 – 57 and x58 –
59 placed inside the control-box on the P-board (the turrets x56-57 are internally connected with the turrets x58 – 59).
As alternative, the burden resistors can be placed outside the control box connecting them to the terminals X10A-7 and X10A-8.
The connection to the external burden resistors should be made using a 1m maximum length of unshielded twisted-pair with section of 2.5 mm

(AWG14).
