Three factor limit the application
The first is the brake assembly rating
P
T
— The peak power the brake
assembly can absorb at any instant regardless of the time limit.
The second is the average power that the brake assembly can absorb
during one braking duty cycle —
P
A
.
The third is the duty cycle or the number of times the brake assembly
can be operated over a given period of time —
DC
.
P
M
must be less than or equal to the brake assembly rating listed in
table 1
. If
P
M
exceeds the
P
T
value shown, the corresponding
drive/brake configuration will not be able to produce the braking
torque required for your application, and the drive will trip on an
overvoltage fault. Increasing the decel time
