  4. Screw terminal connection block on drive side cable end for easy amplifier wiring
  5. Internal ground bonding of cable shield to aluminum heat sink housing

Working Principle

When servo motor operates in generator mode during rapid deceleration, kinetic energy feeds back into drive DC bus, raising bus voltage above safe threshold. Drive internal brake switching IGBT activates, connecting HPA external resistor across DC bus terminals; resistor converts excess electrical regenerative energy into low-temperature thermal heat, dissipating through aluminum heat sink to stabilize DC bus voltage within rated operating window. Thermal fuse permanently disconnects resistor circuit if surface temperature exceeds 160°C to prevent catastrophic failure.

Advantage Highlights

  1. External high-power resistor reduces internal drive heat generation, extending servo amplifier service life
  2. Pre-calibrated fixed resistance value matched to Kollmorgen 480V high-voltage drive platform
  3. Factory 6-meter shielded cable eliminates field wiring resistance measurement errors
  4. Compact DIN rail form factor requires minimal cabinet installation space
  5. Permanent thermal fuse provides passive fire safety protection without external monitoring circuits

Applicable Industries

All automation equipment utilizing high-speed cyclic deceleration servo axes: CNC metal cutting, high-speed packaging lines, robotic gantry systems, lithium battery winding equipment

Installation Requirements

  1. Mount HPA module on standard 35 mm DIN rail with minimum 100 mm vertical airflow clearance
  2. Separate resistor cable low-voltage wiring from high-current servo power cables by minimum 120 mm
  3. Bond cable shield drain wire to cabinet dedicated PE earth bar at drive terminal end
  4. Install module in upper cabinet zone to avoid heat convection rising to sensitive drive electronics
  5. Do not stack other heat-generating electrical components directly above HPA resistor assembly

Operation Precautions

  1. Peak pulse power operation limited to maximum 10 second continuous duty cycle
  2. Ambient cabinet temperature above 40°C requires 15% continuous power derating
  3. Never bypass internal thermal fuse for continuous overload operation
  4. Allow minimum 30-minute cool-down period after full peak power pulse event before maintenance access
  5. Prevent direct contact with aluminum heat sink surface during active power dissipation operation
