Electronic Thermal Overload Protection for Braking Resistor<br />

(Discharging capability, Allowable average loss and Resistance)<br />

These function codes specify the electronic thermal overload protection feature for the braking resistor.<br />

Set the discharging capability, allowable average loss and resistance to F50, F51 and F52, respectively. These<br />

values are determined by the inverter and braking resistor models. For the discharging capability, allowable<br />

average loss and resistance, check with the manufacturer of the braking resistor and set the function codes<br />

accordingly.<br />

Depending on the thermal marginal characteristics of the braking resistor, the electronic thermal overload<br />

protection feature may act so that the inverter issues the overheat protection alarm even if the actual<br />

temperature rise is not large enough. If it happens, review the relationship between the performance<br />

index of the braking resistor and settings of related function codes.<br />

The standard models of braking resistor can output temperature detection signal for overheat. Assign an<br />

"Enable external alarm trip" terminal command THR to any of digital input terminals [X1] to [X7], [FWD]<br />

and [REV] and connect that terminal and its common terminal to braking resistor's terminals 2 and 1.<br />

Calculating the discharging capability and allowable average loss of the braking resistor and configuring<br />

the function code data<br />

When using a braking resistor, check with the resistor manufacturer about the resistor rating and then configure<br />

the related function codes.<br />

The calculation procedures for the discharging capability and allowable average loss of the braking resistor differ<br />

depending on the application of the braking load as shown below.<br />

- Applying braking load during deceleration<br />

During normal deceleration, the braking load decreases as the speed slows down. In the deceleration with<br />

constant torque, the braking load decreases in proportion to the speed. Use equations (1) and (3) given below.<br />

- Applying braking load during running at a constant speed<br />

Different from during deceleration, in applications where the braking load is externally applied during running at a<br />

constant speed, the braking load is constant. Use equations (2) and (4) given below.<br />

• Discharging capability (F50)<br />

The discharging capability refers to kWs allowable for a single braking cycle, which is obtained based on the<br />

braking time and the motor rated capacity.<br />

During running at a constant speed:<br />

Braking time (s) x <strong>Motor</strong> rated capacity (HP) x 0.75<br />

Discharging capability (kWs) = Braking time (s) <strong>Motor</strong> rated capacity (HP) 0.75<br />

Equation (1)<br />

Equation (2)<br />

When the F50 data is set to "0" (To be applied to the braking resistor built-in type), no specification of the<br />

discharging capability is required.<br />
