Internal Regeneration Capability
The internal regeneration resistor of the AR-20xE and AR-30xE is capable of
dissipating 1kW for 1 second and up to 100 Watts continuously (depending
upon heatsink temperature). If the calculated temperature of the internal
regeneration resistor exceeds 150
°
C (302
°
F), the drive turns off the
regeneration circuit and may experience an over-voltage fault.
Similarly, models AR-01xx through AR-13xx may experience an over-voltage
fault if the regeneration exceeds the absorbent capacity of the drive’s internal
bus capacitors, as shown in Table 21.
Regeneration Absorption
The available absorption varies based on mains voltage and the drive’s
internal capacitance. The drives can absorb the following amounts of
regenerated energy in their internal capacitors:
