Connect the servo amplifier and regenerative resistor unit as shown in the following
diagram.
Note: Adequate cooling must be provided for regenerative resistors because they reach very high
temperatures. Also use heat-resistant, non-flammable wire and make sure that the wiring does not
come into contact with the resistors.
5.6.2 Calculating the Regenerative Power Capacity
Simple Calculation Method
When driving a servomotor normally along the horizontal axis, check the external
regenerative resistor requirements using the calculation method shown below.
Servo Amplifiers with Capacity of 400W or Less
Servo amplifiers with a capacity of 400W or less do not have built-in regenerative
resistors. The energy that can be absorbed by capacitors is shown in the following
table. If the rotational energy in the servo system exceeds these values, then connect
a regenerative resistor externally.
Calculate the rotational energy in the servo system using the following equation:
