Connecting the braking resistor
WARNING
The cables must only be connected to terminal block -X5 when the cabinet unit is switched
off and the DC link capacitors are discharged.
CAUTION
The braking resistor cables must be laid in such a way that they are short-circuit and
ground-fault proof.
The length of the connecting cables between the cabinet unit and external braking resistor
must not exceed 100 m.
