FAQs

Q1: How does a braking resistor protect a SINAMICS G120 drive?

A braking resistor dissipates excess energy generated during regenerative braking. This prevents the DC bus voltage from rising too high. It protects the drive's power components from overvoltage stress.

This safety mechanism ensures the drive operates within its safe voltage limits. It averts costly damage and unexpected shutdowns. This is critical for dynamic applications.

By absorbing surplus energy as heat, the resistor acts as a crucial safety buffer. This safeguard enhances the overall reliability and longevity of the SINAMICS G120 drive system.
