External braking resistor

Overload protection
When an external braking resistor is used, it is essential that
an overload protection device is incorporated in the braking
resistor circuit; this is described in Figure 4-18 on page 68.
WARNING
When a braking resistor is to be mounted outside the enclosure, ensure
that it is mounted in a ventilated metal housing that will perform the
following functions:
Prevent inadvertent contact with the resistor
Allow adequate ventilation for the resistor
When compliance with EMC emission standards is required, external
connection requires the cable to be armored or shielded, since it is not
fully contained in a metal enclosure. See section 4.12.5 Compliance with
generic emission standards on page 74 for further details.Internal
connection does not require the cable to be armored or shielded.

For high-inertia loads or under continuous braking, the continuous power
dissipated in the braking resistor may be as high as the power rating of
the drive. The total energy dissipated in the braking resistor is dependent
on the amount of energy to be extracted from the load.
The instantaneous power rating refers to the short-term maximum power
dissipated during the on intervals of the pulse width modulated braking
control cycle. The braking resistor must be able to withstand this
dissipation for short intervals (milliseconds). Higher resistance values
require proportionately lower instantaneous power ratings.
In most applications, braking occurs only occasionally. This allows the
continuous power rating of the braking resistor to be much lower than
the power rating of the drive. It is therefore essential that the
instantaneous power rating and energy rating of the braking resistor are
sufficient for the most extreme braking duty that is likely to be
encountered.
Optimization of the braking resistor requires careful consideration of the
braking duty.
Select a value of resistance for the braking resistor that is not less than
the specified minimum resistance. Larger resistance values may give a
cost saving, as well as a safety benefit in the event of a fault in the
braking system. Braking capability will then be reduced, which could
cause the drive to trip during braking if the value chosen is too large.

Thermal protection circuit for the braking resistor

The thermal protection circuit must disconnect the AC supply from the
drive if the resistor becomes overloaded due to a fault. Figure 4-18
shows a typical circuit arrangement.
