Current/Time Characteristics for DB Resistor AssembliesThe figure below shows the allowable GV2 trip times as a function of current setting multiples with the dynamic braking resistor assembly located in a 40 °C (104 °F) ambient te mp er atu r e environment. See page 35 for an example of how to calculate resistor size.The kits in the following table use the thermal protection of a GV2 manual starter and have a Type 1 rating per UL 50. The insulation system is suitable for use in a P ol lution Degr ee 3 en vi ronment (refer to NEMA ICS-1 Annex A). The package is UL/CSA marked.DB Kits Technical Specifications

Current rating of resistor assembly is calculated based on setting of internal overload protective device in assembly, overload setting based on
enclosure overtemperature protection, and resistor overload versus time characteristics. Resistors are r ated for stopping six times rotor inertia of four-
pole motor with drive at current limit. Motor inertias are based on NEMA MG-1 14.45.
