Selection criteria

The braking resistor is selected in the SEW-Workbench. The necessary selection parameters for the braking resistor are calculated during the project planning procedure. Depending on these selection parameters, a braking resistor is selected from the table.

The following selection parameters are the basis for selecting the braking resistor.

• Continuous braking power
• Overload factor k
• Peak braking power
• Current-carrying capacity of the brake chopper
