Wiring and Connecting a Dynamic Brake Resistor
4.2
Dynamic Brake Resistor Connections
Connectors or terminal blocks are used to wire a dynamic brake resistor.
The SGD7S-R70A to -2R8A, SGD7S-R70F to -2R8F, and SGD7W-1R6A to -2R8A do not sup-
port the dynamic brake hardware option specifications, so they do not have any dynamic brake
resistor terminals.
For the SGD7S-3R8A to -330A and SGD7W-5R5A to -7R6A, connect the external dynamic
brake resistor with the enclosed connectors.
For the SGD7S-470A to -780A, connect the external dynamic brake resistor using the terminal
block.
The location and dimensions depend on the model of the SERVOPACK. Refer to the following
sections for details.
For information on connections other than to the dynamic brake resistor terminals, refer to the
standard SERVOPACK product manual.

Any wire sizes within the ranges given in this table can be used for the external dynamic brake resistor.
CAUTION
Wire all connections correctly according to the following table.
If the wiring is not correct, there is a risk of SERVOPACK failure or fire.
