If a totally external resistor network is used as shown in Figure 4.5,
the calculated wattage, [W] = 17,000

to size the precharge and discharge resistors.
required. Table 4.5 provides the minimum resistance value for the
external precharge resistor, 30 ohms in the case of the RPS027 and
20 ohms in the case of the RPS065. The wattage [W] is determined
by the equation presented above. Connect the external precharge
resistor to terminals PR1 and PR2 on terminal block TB2.
Terminal PR3 should be left open. See Chapter 2, Figure 2.1 under
"Terminal Blocks on the Main Circuit". The Precharge/Discharge
Time (F.014) may require a larger value to accommodate the
increased precharge time. The Wattage of Precharge/Discharge
Resistor (F.015) should also be increased to the external precharge
resistor wattage.
