Calculation of brake power

Valid for AKD, S300, S400, S600, S700

The calculated Power Dissipation can be used for selecting a brake resistor or capacitor module.

A part of the brake energy is stored in the DC link bus capacitors of the servo amplifier. If these capacitors are filled, the brake energy is led to the Brake Resistor. The calculated power dissipation PBrems is the possibly maximum value.
