Connecting braking resistor BW..-P / BW..-T / BW.. to X3 / X2

WARNING

The surfaces of the braking resistors get very hot when the braking resistors are loaded with PN.
Risk of burns and fire.
  • Choose a suitable installation location. Braking resistors are usually mounted on top of the control cabinet.
  • Do not touch the braking resistors.

Set a terminal to "/Controller inhibit". K11 must be opened and "/Controller inhibit" must receive a "0" signal in the following cases:

  • BW..-P: The auxiliary contact trips
  • BW..-T: The internal temperature switch trips
  • BW..: The external bimetallic relay F16 trips

The resistor circuit must not be interrupted.
