TEMPERATURE-BASED RESISTANCE BRAKING CAPACITY

Abstract

This provides a system comprising a resistive network having a plurality of resistive elements, the resistive network being electrically connected to a motor of an electric drive machine; a temperature sensor arranged to measure the temperature of at least one of the numerous resistive elements; a control circuit comprising one or more processors and a memory structured to store instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the control circuit to: determine the temperature of the at least one resistive element according to the measurements of the temperature sensor; and determine a resistive braking capacity of the resistive network within a power capacitance difference corresponding to the determined temperature of the resistive element;and a display configured to provide a graphical representation of the resistance braking capacity of the resistance network in relation to the power capacity difference.
