Abstract:
A method for controlling brake resistors and a brake chopper, the number of brake resistors (73, 75, 77) being two or more and the brake resistors being connected in series with switches (72, 74, 76) to be controlled, the series connection being connected between a positive and a negative rail (U dc+ , U dc- ) of a DC voltage intermediate circuit, the method comprising the step of determining a magnitude for a voltage (U dc ) of the DC intermediate circuit; and determining a first voltage limit (U lim1 ) and a second voltage limit (U lim2 ).
