DATA SHEET FOR DYNAMIC BRAKING RESISTORS

1. Part description

This data sheet provides technical information for the following types of dynamic braking resistor supplied by Fairfild:

RFD 200 (100 W)


RFP V 300 (300 W)
RFP V 500 (500 W)

2. Warnings

Please observe the following warnings.

High temperatures – Risk of burn


Braking resistors can reach high temperatures.
Do not mount the resistor on a combustible surface.
Locate the braking resistor so that inadvertent contact is not possible.
Provide adequate ventilation
Use cable with insulation capable of withstanding high temperatures

Thermal overload protection must be used


The thermal switch must be incorporated into the overload protection circuit.
The thermal protection circuit must disconnect the AC supply to the drive if
the resistor becomes overloaded due to a fault.

3. Resistor selection

The resistance of the braking resistor must be higher than the minimum resistance specified in the drive User Guide.
The required Pulse Power rating must be calculated to suit the application. Refer to the Drive User Guide.

4. Installation

The resistor must be mounted as shown in the data table below.


The resistor housing must be grounded.
The cable between the resistor and the drive must be shielded if the cable is not fully enclosed inside a metal enclosure. The cable does not need
to be screened if the braking resistor and drive are both fully enclosed inside the same metal enclosure.

5. Installation bracket for RFD 200

An optional installation bracket is available for use with the RFD 200 resistor, part number 6541-0305-00. The dimensions are shown below.
