4.5 Regenerative Resistor Selection

■ External Regen Resistors
(1) If the power resistor is used at the rated load rate, resistor temperatures will reach 200°C~300°C. Be sure to
derate before using. Check with the manufacturer for the load characteristics of the resistor. Use at a load rating
of 20% or less when using natural cooling (natural convection cooling), and at 50% or less when forced air
cooling is used.
(2) For safety reasons, we recommend the use of resistors with thermostatic switches.
■ For Digital Torque Amplifiers of 400W Capacity or Less
SGDG-01GT
The SGDG-01GT does not have the regen transistor built-in even though there are
terminals for connecting an external regen resistor. Therefore, for external regen
requirement, the JUSP-RG08D external regen unit must be used. This unit connects
directly across the DC bus. It is a self-contained unit consisting of bus sensing circuitry,
switching IGBT, 50 ohm power resistor, and alarm relay contacts. The regen capacity of
this unit is 60W before derating. The convection cool capacity is 12W. Capacity
increases to 30W with forced-air cooling.
When this external regen unit is used, #5 of SW1 in the SGDG-01GT should be turned
OFF to avoid erroneous alarms.
The following is the dimension and specifications of the JUSP-RG08D:
