PTC braking ­resistors

Observe the following points for PTC braking resistors:

  • Only recommended for applications with little regenerative energy.
  • The resistor reversibly protects itself against overload by changing abruptly to high resistance and no longer consuming any more energy.
  • The inverter then switches off and signals a "brake chopper" fault (fault F04).
