NOTICE
Material damage when exceeding the maximum permitted cable length
Exceeding the maximum permitted cable length to the braking resistor can cause material
damage in the event of component failure.
•
The braking resistor connecting cables may not be longer than 100 m.
Recommended connection cross-sections:
●
For 25/125 kW: 35 mm²
●
For 50/250 kW: 50 mm²
Thermostatic switch
A thermostatic switch is installed to protect the braking resistor against overload. Its floating
contacts must be integrated in the fault chain on site.
