Connecting braking resistors in parallel

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

  • Connect the power connections of the braking resistors to +R and -R in parallel.
  • Each braking resistor requires separate protection against thermal overload.
  • Connect the signal contacts (NC contacts) of the protection devices in series.
  • Pay attention to the minimum permitted braking resistance value RBRmin when connecting braking resistors in parallel.
