If you have all the mechanical variables of your system and have a deceleration application, you should use the “Energy method”.
If you are attempting to perform VFD braking, either deceleration or overhauling, and have the basic specs of your drive… you can use the “Drive specs method”.
If you’re not confident about these variables, we recommend you refer back to our Braking Resistor page which has more details in the “Useful Information” section. Alternatively, you can give us a call or an email and we’d be happy to help in braking resistor sizing.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1544218070384{padding-top: 40px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_fancy_title strip_tags=”true” color=”rgba(221,51,51,0.7)” size=”18″ font_family=”Roboto+Slab” font_type=”google”]Braking Resistor Calculator – Energy Method[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1544208637700{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][fc id=’15’][/fc][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_fancy_title strip_tags=”true” color=”rgba(221,51,51,0.7)” size=”18″ font_family=”Roboto+Slab” font_type=”google”]Braking Resistor Calculator – Drive Specs Method[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1544215669358{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][fc id=’16’][/fc][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
