(5) Selecting a Thermal Relay
When preparing the dynamic brake resistor and regenerative resistor separately, select a thermal relay by calcu-
lating the setting current of the thermal relay according to the value and capacity of the resistor being used, as
shown in the following equation.
Example for a JUSP-RA08
Select a thermal relay that has operating characteristics equivalent to those of the recommended product.
Refer to the following diagrams for the operating characteristics of the recommended thermal relays.
