How can I find the Time Constant of older braking resistors for use with the ATV900 series drives?
Issue:
I have an older braking resistor I want to use with my ATV900 series drive. How do I find the time constant?
Product Line:
ATV900 series drives.
Environment:
All models, All serial numbers where a braking resistor is being added.
Cause:
The ATV900 series drives requires a "time constant" setting when using a braking resistor. This information is not available for older resistors.
Resolution:
It is recommended to use the braking resistors in the ATV900 catalog which have this value listed. Resistors from older applications may not be compatible with the braking resistor/transistor system of the 900 series drive. This information will not be available on some older resistors.
