Drive Configuration
Chapter 1
Internal Resistor
If the drive is set up for an internal resistor, there is a protection scheme built into
the firmware such that if it is determined that too much power has been
dissipated into the resistor the firmware does not allow the DB transistor to fire
any longer. Thus the bus voltage rises and trips on over voltage.

External Resistor
If the drive is set up for an external resistor and the resistor has been sized
correctly and the regenerative power limit is set to a value that enables the
regenerative power to be fully dissipated, the DB transistor continues to fire
throughout the decel time.
