Braking Resistor Selection | Omron RX

A load connected to a motor has kinetic energy when rotating, and potential energy when it is located in a high position. When the motor decelerates, or when the load descends, this energy is returned to an inverter. This is known as regeneration, and the energy generated is known as regenerative energy.   Applications Requiring […]
