General information on determining operating currents
The tables list the operating currents of the brakes at different voltages.
The acceleration current IB (inrush current) flows for a short time when releasing the brake (approx. 160 ms for BE02 – BE62, 400 ms for BE60 – BE122 in connection with BMP3.1 brake control). No increased inrush current occurs when using BG.., BS24 or BMS.. brake control and direct DC voltage supply without control unit (only possible with brake size BE02 – BE2).
The values for the holding currents IH are effective values. Only use devices for the current measurement that are suitable for the measurement of effective values.
The following operating currents and power consumption values are nominal values. They refer to a coil temperature of +20 °C.
Operating currents and power consumption usually decrease during normal operation due to heating of the brake coil.
However, note that the actual operating currents can be higher by up to 25% when the coil temperatures are below +20 °C.
