240 v installation

480 v Installations

600 v installation Where: P res = Power dissipation D = Duty cycle R = Resistance in ohms The power dissipation number is between 0 and 1. Typically, D will never be specified less than 0.2. This will ensure that the minimum power rating of the resistor will always be sufficient. The duration of the braking period determines the temperature rise of the resistor as determined by the thermal time constant of the resistor (manufacturer specified). Typical braking applications are intermittent (D <1), the resistor should not be designed for continuous operation. Braking resistors are normally sized for the average power dissipation over the braking cycle time. Maximum braking power

Where: Vbrake = Voltage during braking R = Dynamic Breaking Resistor rating (ohms) Braking Torque:
