Parallel connection of braking resistors

It is permitted to connect several identical braking resistors in parallel. The following applies:

  • Connect the power connections of the resistors in parallel to +R and -R.
  • Each braking resistor requires separate protection against thermal overload.
  • Connect the signal contacts (NC contacts) of the protection devices in series.
  • When connecting resistors in parallel, pay attention to RBRmin.
