Braking resistor selection

✎Note

0.75kW-22kW：VB default support barking unit so just install braking resistor. Please set F4.16=0,FA.03=0,FA.04=120.

37kW and above：VB does not support the default barking unit, so need to install external brake unit and brake resistor. Please set F4.16=0, FA.03=0, FA.04=150.

Woodworking engraving machine, lifting, centrifugal drying and other industries belong to the high-frequency braking occasions recommended to use higher power braking resistors.

Ground wire selection

1. The terminal must be grounded reliably, and the resistance of the grounding wire must be less than 0.1Ω. Otherwise, the equipment will work abnormally or even be damaged.

2. Do not share the grounding terminal and the N terminal of the neutral line of the power supply.

3. impedance of the protective grounding conductor must meet the requirements of being able to withstand the large short-circuit current that may occur in the event of a fault.

4. The protective grounding conductor must use a yellow-green cable.

5. The size of the protective grounding conductor is selected according to the following table:

The cross-sectional area of a phase wire (S)
