Hello! I have three chinese servo drives in the waterjet machine and they are constantly faulting with overvoltage error. Since I have not yet added any braking resistors, it seems obvious that I should do so. The question is: how do I determine appropriate resistance and rated power values for

Hi , Viesturs. I found this documenthttp://www.cressall.com/brakingresistors/downloads/Calculating%20brake%20resistance.pdfthat may be useful . I do believe that 100W should be ok for a 500W motor . Of course the calculation is related to the energy that have to be dissipated during the braking

Haas uses electric stove elements. I suppose they had an engineer sit down for 10 minutes to figure out the resistance. They will certainly take a significant amount of wattage On Thu, Apr 17, 2014 at 9:56 AM, Viesturs Lācis viesturs.la...@gmail.comwrote: Hello! I have three chinese servo
