Calculation for the allowable operation cycles per minute by motor speed and inertia.
The formula below should be used to to calculate the permitted number of cycles/min
in
regenerative mode in accordance with the actual loading and the running speed of the motor.

α = Load Inertia / Motor Inertia
If the required number of cycles /min is higher than the calculated value then an external
regeneration resistor must be installed.
Calculation of the external regeneration resistor power (Watts).
Calculate the resistor watts according to the information and formulas below:

In applications with regenerative loads, which cause reverse torque, a large amount of energy will flow back to
the driver.
