Capability
The drive energy absorption capability values (in joules) that are needed during the
sizing calculations are provided in the following table.
Note: Multiple drives can be interconnected via the DC-Link. When this is done, the
energy absorption capability of the drives and the continuous power ratings of the
Regen resistors are additive. The energy absorbed by the drives must be
calculated by superimposing all the time speed plots and calculating the energy
generated by each axis. (For calculating the power in complex multi-drive
applications contact Schneider Electric for assistance.)
Step Action
8 Compare the pulse power and the continuous power calculated with the
ratings of the internal Regen resistor in the drive. If either one is greater
then an external Regen resistor must be chosen and installed. (See the
Parts List appendix for a list of the available external Regen resistors.)
