SHUNT BRAKE RESISTORS/FORCING RESISTORS
 
SHUNT BRAKE RESISTORS
Shunt brakes are designed for one or eight hour duty and rated at 80 volts (1 hr.) or 64 volts (8 hr.). To operate the brake, it is necessary to have a resistor in series with the brake assembly. Coil voltage and value of series resistor, based on a line voltage of 250 VDC is shown in the following table. The TM brake has two identical coils except the TM43 and TM63 which have only one coil.

2 TM 43 and TM63 frames differ from larger TM brakes. Only (1) coil is used.

 
FORCING SCHEME
Often, it is desirable to force magnet coils with a "higher-than rated" voltage to obtain a faster response time. The following table shows typical resistors which can be used to obtain satisfactory results. The customer's control circuit must be designed so that when first energized, the high resistance section is shorted out causing a high voltage to be impressed across the brake. After a short time delay (.8 to 1 second) a relay inserts the high resistance section reducing the holding voltage tately 25 to 30 volts. Forcing and hold voltages are not critical. Both release and setting times are faster with a forcing scheme when compared to a standard shunt circuit.
 
Holding at a low voltage also allows operation at the full brake torque (1 hr. rating) at a continuous duty cycle (8 hr. rating).
