✶ Duty cycle listed is based on full speed to zero speed deceleration. For constant regen at full speed, duty cycle capability is half of what is listed. Application
Type 1 represents maximum capability up to 100% braking torque where possible. Application Type 2 represents more than 100% braking torque where
possible, up to a maximum of 150%.
7 Always check resistor ohms against minimum resistance for drive being used.
‡ For 11 and 15 kW (15 and 20 Hp) applications, use two 7.5 kW (10 Hp) size resistors wired in parallel.
